DEVICE CONNECTION

The HCM Communications Module is an SPI to USB (or Ethernet) adapter that includes a
power supply adapter allowing the user to connect the RF synthesizer to standard AC power.
The SPI connector on the module should be inserted into the synthesizer SPI receiving
connector and the screws should be tightened for a secure communications connection (see
figure below). Connect the power pin and either USB mini type B, or RJ-45 Ethernet
communications cable. The HCM module creates a USB (or Ethernet) connection to a Windows
PC so the Holzworth GUI can be used to control the synthesizer. No drivers are required to run
the Holzworth GUI.
