    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.
