SPI  –  In this selection the EVK operates only with the SPI interface. The RS232 (DB9) port is 
switched off.

Pin header 

This 14-pin test-connector provides additional functionality to the EVK, allowing access to the 
interface pins and an ability to measure the current used by the ZED-F9P module. All pins are ESD 
protected.

Table 5: Connector pin description for EVK-F9P-00 (pins numbered from right to left on the front panel) 

For accurate measurements,  use a max 1 m cable. 

Figure 3

  shows an example of a power supply 

connected to the test connector by using standard adapter cables from the manufacturer 
Hirschmann. 

Table 5

 shows an example for overall current measurement. When connecting the 3.3 V 

digital interfaces RS232, SPI and DDC to your application, use a max 25 cm cable.
