4. System Application The SD-160 is a flexible data radio transceiver intended for a wide variety of applications. The basic radio data applications may be divided into several categories, examples of these are : Point to point telemetry (Data logging system) Tele-command and tele-control to / from outstations or machinery Automatic irrigation system Job allocation and status reporting...

2. Point to point telemetry using FFSK or GMSK modulation with RS232 control via a micro-controller. User applications for this may include remote control data links such as control of a remote paging transmitter or single direction status reporting or data flow (see Figure 4.2.) from a gas pipeline monitoring station.

5. Operation By applying an ACC-513 or ACC-514 to the SD-160, which is intended to be used as a radio data-generating device utilizing GMSK or FFSK type modulation. There is also a facility, called Micro-controller Unit, to control your overall application, including the radio, and to handle data to transmit or receive.

The serial protocol supported by the ACC-513/514 is fixed at 1 start bit, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and no parity. Flow control can be selected as either hardware (RTS/CTS), software (XON/XOFF) and none. The serial baud rate is also user configurable and supports the following rates: 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600bps.

the modem option board by the completion of the RF stabilization. The model contains tunable value for this period of time, which the user can adjust these timings into their system within the limited range. Especially, “Tx On delay” and “Tx Off delay” which are important timing parameters in the transmitter.
Page 18
So, a minimum period of time is required for synchronization, this is given by modem IC specification and you can adjust this value within the limited range. Detailed other parameters for ACC-513/514 will be given in the next section.
6. Understanding Modem Option In this section, explanation of modem options in ACC 916, PC Programmer is given. The modem option consists of four groups, MODEM SELECT, SYSTEM OPTION 1,2 and 3. In MODEM SELECT, the type of modem and modem speed for channel space are selectable and in SYSTEM OPTION1, transmission mode of radio and functions of forcing TX and initializing Hyper Terminal are chosen.
6.3. System Option 2 a. Base Block Size 1 This option is about the data size to be transmitted at one time. If data flow control is selected in Auto mode, radio will try handshaking after a transmission of Base Block Size1 according to communication assigned data.
f. Tx Delay Time 2 This is the required time to detect tone, and is only available for the FFSK Modem and channel with Tone (CTCSS/DCS). In case of SD160 series, 250ms (Default) is recommended. g. Number of Allowable Errors for Start Bit This option prevents the radio from receiving invalid data by an external disturbance.
7. Modem Operation Explained This section explains each operating mode and details the modem serial pin connections. There are two types of modes, Auto and Dumb mode. In Auto mode, the radio is automatically controlled by existence of inputted data from a DTE. To avoid data overflow by limitation of the buffer memory due to continuous input, serial port data flow is controlled by the radio in communication with a DTE.
7.1.2. Software flow control This flow control function uses three wires, RXD, TXD and GND in RS232. When DCE is receiving data from DTE, to prevent received data from exceeding the buffer1 capacity in DCE, the DCE sends command of transmission halt request which is XOFF code to the DTE.

be transmitted, After the DTE sends RTS signal to the DCE, the DTE waits for a CTS signal from the DCE. If the DTE receives a CTS signal from the DCE, the DTE transmits data. When the DCE is receiving data from the DTE, to prevent received data from exceeding the buffer capacity in the DCE, the DCE sends command of transmission halt request that is the CTS signal to the DTE.
Hardware preparation Change the jumper position of con407 as the following. CON407 CON407 RV401 (Default) RV402 RV403 SW401 Digital Board (RTS mode only) Figure 7.5. Hardware preparation for Hardware flow control REMARK : RTS mode means the mode which uses RTS signal for radio control. The following modes use the RTS signal.

7.4. Operating Diagram As show below, If the radio has data to transmit and has assigned data block size, when the radio transmits data as much as assigned data block size, if receiving radio receives this data, the radio transmits an Ack signal as indication of successful receipt, sequentially, next data will be transmitted.

application in ACC 916 programming software. 6 bits ABDS (Additional Bits to Detect Start data) is to detect more safely the start data. Start data is the beginning bits of valid data and if only these bits are matched with the assigned data bits, the following data is treated as valid.
8.
