13.0 EVALUATION DEVELOPMENT KIT
(P/N 03-4053A01)
The Evaluation Development Kit is designed to assist integrators who will be
working with the transceiver in a benchtop setting. The kit contains the
following:
Two OEM Transceiver modules (configured for TTL, or RS-232/485
operation, as requested)
Two Evaluation Development boards (P/N 03-4051A01)
Interface Cables
Two whip antennas
Two 12 Vdc power supplies
TransNET Support CD containing software for programming &
diagnostics
Evaluation PC Board
A key part of the Evaluation Development Kit is the Evaluation Board shown
in Figure 18. It contains a 16-pin header connector (J2) that mates with
female connector J3 the OEM transceiver board. It carries all signals (except
RF) between the Evaluation Board and the transceiver module. The Evalua-
tion PCB is compatible with TTL and RS-232/485 configured radios mounted
on it.Table 34 lists the basic pin functions of J2.
The Evaluation Board provides convenient connection points for diagnostics,
payload data, and DC power. Each of these connectors are discussed in this
section. The board also includes a series of test probe points to the left of J2.
These may be used for monitoring logic signal activity with a multimeter,
DVM, oscilloscope or other test instruments. The probe points are identified
by printed markings on the board.
The transceiver board’s RF/Antenna connection is not connected to the Eval-
uation Board’s 16-pin header. The transceiver module’s antenna connection
is always made at J200 or J201using a complementary connector.
For more detailed pinout information on the transceiver module’s
Interface,
J3, including the differences between TTL and RS-232/485 configured
radios, refer to Section 12.3 on Page 66.
