ANSI and NFPA standards. It is solely the responsibility Using the Programming Dock of any Linx customer who uses one or more of these products to The Development Kit Demonstration Software incorporate appropriate redundancies and safety standards for the Life and Property Safety Situation application.
The boards serve several important functions: • Rapid Module Evaluation: The boards allow the performance of the Linx HumDT™ Series modules to be evaluated quickly in a user’s environment. The development boards can be used to evaluate the range performance of the modules.
Prototype Board Initial Setup There are several boards that are included with the Development System. The Carrier Boards have a HumDT Series transceiver on a daughter board with headers. These boards snap into sockets on the other boards, enabling the modules to be easily moved among the test boards. There are two Programming Docks that have a socket for a Carrier Board and a USB interface for connection to a PC.
Using the Prototype Board The overload condition is reset once the excess current draw is removed. Supply for the module is connected through R17. This can be removed and Snap a Carrier Board onto the socket on the Prototype Board as shown in replaced by another supply or used to measure the current consumption of Figure 7.
If the range you are able to nickname is entered using the development kit software and can be achieve is significantly less than specified by Linx for the products you are any name that helps distinguish the modules from one another. This is...

The 868MHz version of the module operates on one of 68 channels as The modules are shown with four identifiers as shown in Figure 13. opposed to being agile among 4 channels. The software automatically detects the frequency band for the active module and adjusts the selection. The 868MHz module changes the channel selection from the check boxes to a drop-down menu in the Radio section (1).

The Network tab shows the interaction of all of the connected modules on one screen. Figure 20 shows two modules on the screen, but up to 8 modules can fit at one time. Figure 17: The Master Development System Software Command Set Tab Commands Menu Figure 20: The Master Development System Software Network Tab The screen shows the network configuration of all modules that are connected to the PC.
Development Kit Demonstration Software Example This example shows how to configure two modules to work with each other. The software defaults to the Advanced Configuration tab when opened (Figure 21). Figure 23: The Master Development System Software with Connected Modules Any changes to the current configurations are shown in red.
