FOX3-2G/3G/4G/-4G-PROMOTION-KIT Getting Started
Item Description
Testing IOs as digital When the reference IO (e.g: IO/1) is configured as digital input with "$PFAL,IO0.Config=DI,2,10", the
inputs: FOX3-2G/3G/4G device will generate a rising edge event "IO.e0=redge" and set the state of the IO/1
to high "IO.s0=high", if:
and will generate a falling edge event "IO.e0=fedge" and sets its state to low "IO.s0=low", if:
Testing IOs as analogue When the reference IO (e.g: IO/1) is configured as analogue input with "$PFAL,IO0.Config=AI,2,10,
inputs: you have to calibrate first this IO the low and high voltages. To do it, perform the following steps (e.g.
IO/1):
Testing IOs as digital When the reference IO (e.g: IO/1) is supposed to be used as digital output, there is no configuration
outputs: to be done in the firmware. To test it, perform the steps below:

Item Description
Serial port 0 Via your own RS-232 cable you can connect the PROMOTION-KIT to a PC and evaluate the connected FOX3-
2G/3G/4G device.

•
the position of the IO/1-Switch changes from "Digital IN - Low" to "Digital IN - High".
•
the position of the IO/1-Switch changes from "Digital IN - High" to "Digital IN -Low".
1. Switch the IO/1-Switch (IO/1) to "Digital IN - Low" position.
2. Send the command "$PFAL,IO0.Calibrate,offset=0" from the Workbench
Fig. 8) to FOX3-2G/3G/4G.
3. Switch the IO/1-Switch (IO/1) to "Digital IN - High" position.
4. Send the command "$PFAL,IO0.Calibrate,gain=15" from the Workbench
8) to FOX3-2G/3G/4G.
5. Switch the IO/1-Switch (IO/1) to "Digital OUT / analogue IN" position. This position has a
fixed voltage of approx. 6V.
Now, you can configure an alarm (e.g. $PFAL,CNF.Set,AL31=Sys.Timer.e0&IO.s0>6.0:IO6.Set=high) to
switch on an LED (e.g. IO/3) when the voltage on the IO/3 is higher than e.g. 5.0 V. To test it,
perform the steps below:
6. Send
"$PFAL,CNF.Set,AL31=Sys.Timer.e0&IO.s2>5.0:IO13.Set=hpulse,5000"

7. Switch the IO/1-Switch (IO/1) to "Digital OUT / analogue IN" position.
8. Send the command "$PFAL,Sys.Timer0.Start=single,1000" from the Workbench
(see Fig. 8) to FOX3-2G/3G/4G
After the timer expires (1 second has passed), the red LED on the FOX3-2G/3G/4G (front side, next
to the 6pin accessory port) goes ON for 5 seconds and then turns OFF.
LED on the FOX3-2G/3G/4G, refer to the Related Documents
1. Remove the available configuration for the IO/1 with "$PFAL,IO0.Config="
2. Switch the IO/1-Switch to the "Digital OUT / analogue IN" position
3. Send the command "$PFAL,IO4.Set=high" to set it to High
Send the command "$PFAL,IO5.Set=low" to set it to Low
