is recommended as it provides 300dpi resolution and yields a good quality image in permanent ink. The printer is plugged
into the USB port of the RPi and can be configured by using the browser to connect to the URL:
localhost:631
. More
information on working with printers can found on the Raspberry Pi or Linux web sites.
Hardware Connections
The ZWP500 uses the standard 12 pin Sigma Designs programming header. The Sigma ZDP03A has only a 10 pin
header and excludes the two UART pins but is otherwise pin compatible. Pins 2 and 5 are usually a no-connect on other
programmers but the ZWP500 uses these pins to connect to a DUT board with I2C GPIO expanders or other I2C devices
to enable complete control and measurement of the DUT. The cable should be less than 6 inches in length to ensure
reliable signal quality.

Z-Wave Antenna
An SMA connector on the side of the ZWP500 is typically connected to a 900MHz antenna to communicate with the DUT
over the Z-Wave radio. The SMA connector may be cabled to an RF shielded enclosure to limit the RF interference with
adjacent test stations or other Z-Wave networks.
