SG Series Master Development System

ORDERING INFORMATION

INTRODUCTION

The Linx SG Series RF modules offer a simple, efficient, and cost-effective method
of adding GPS capabilities to any product. The Master Development System is
intended to give a designer all the tools necessary to correctly incorporate the SG
Series into an end product. The development boards themselves serve several
important functions: 

• Rapid Module Evaluation - The boards allow the performance of the Linx SG

Series modules to be evaluated quickly in a user’s environment.

• Design Benchmark - During the design process of your product, the boards

provide a known benchmark against which the performance of your own design
may be judged.

• Application Development - An on-board prototyping area is provided to allow a

designer to develop applications directly on the development board. All signal
lines are available on a header for easy connection to the designer’s circuits.

The Master Development System includes 1 assembled development board, 2 SG
Series receivers*, one SH Series antenna, 4 AAA batteries, and full documentation.

*One part is soldered to the board, one extra is for use on your first prototype board.
