    Board A has the buttons on the right column and board B has them on the left column. These accept the Carrier Boards and are used to demonstrate the remote control functionality of the TT Series. They can also be used for range testing. These boards use hardware configuration, so if any changes have been made to the modules using the software then they may not operate correctly.

    Development Kit Demonstration Software Example This example shows how to configure two modules to work with each other. The software defaults to the Demo & EZConfiguration tab when opened (Figure 21).

Command Data Interface. Any changes are highlighted in red. In the example in Figure 27 the output mask has been changed to all inputs, S0 is latched, the Paired module is given full permissions, the status line direction is set by the mask and the outputs are latched by the Latch Mask.
