AC Series DVK Board  

The SDK board is provided so the developer can use a standard PC interface to operate the transceivers and 
to aid in system integration. As shown in 

Figure 1

, there are many features that enhance the functionality 

and usability of this board. It uses +5V TTL, RS232, RS485, and USB data formats for interfacing with the 
transceiver. The configuration and operation of the SDK board is continuously shown by the LEDs located on 
the edge of the board. See 

Table 1

 and 

Table 2

 for definitions of the LEDs and switches.
