Kit Instructions and Operating Procedures

Description

The DS1840K Potentiometer Evaluation Kit provides the hardware and software necessary to evaluate the
functions and features of the DS1845, DS1846, DS1847, and the DS1848 potentiometers in a laboratory
environment.  The user must supply a PC and a 5V power supply terminated with banana plugs (bench
supply or modified “wall wart” transformer) for operation of the kit.  The DS1840K also provides an
oscillator/buzzer circuit that allows you to “hear” the potentiometers.
