Get your application up and running with ULE
Working through the steps below will enable the User to get an ULE Node application with basic
ULE connectivity up and running. This section provides an overview of the 3 steps, with following
sections elaborating Steps 1 and 2.
2.1
Step 1: ULE Node with the DHX91 ULE EVB & VAR Simulation Tool

CMND I/F
Active)

Here the ULE Node application is running on the PC using the VAR simulator you have downloaded.
(Note: Both sides of the link can run on the same computer). In this setup the User will learn how to:
Install and run VAR simulator on the Node side and the Controller GUI simulator on the
Controller side
Register the ULE Node, modify the operating frequency to comply with local regulations
Use the VAR simulator to trigger events and send maintenance messages (=Keep Alive) that
can be monitored at the Controller GUI
Copy the basic transactions at the CMND I/F so that they can easily be transplanted from the
simulator to the code running on the User’s application MCU.
2.2
Step 2: ULE Node with the DHX91 ULE EVB wired to your MCU

ULE transactions have been embedded into the Application SW and their effectiveness can now be
validated. User will be able to register (=pair) his ULE Node Application with the ULE Controller,
send maintenance (= Keep Alive) and simple Alarm/Event messages, turn actuators ON-OFF, send
battery and RSSI status over to the Controller.
