MASTER DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM
The Master Development System is intended to give a designer all the tools
necessary to incorporate the Long-Range Handheld transmitter, LR Series
receiver, and HS Series decoder into a product. The Master Development
System serves several important functions. It allows the performance and
features of the transmitter, LR Series, and HS Series to be quickly evaluated. It
shows how to design with the receiver and decoder and how to interface with
other components. It also demonstrates the overall system function, making it
easy to develop the initial system design. It allows for additional circuitry to be
placed directly on the board so that it can act as the first prototype of the product.
All of the signals are available on a wire-wrap header for easy connection to
external circuitry.
When the decoder board is plugged into a USB port on a PC, the kit can be used
to activate the features in the included software. When a data line goes high on
the decoder, a microcontroller sends a command to the computer via a Linx USB
interface module to control functions in the software. Please see the
documentation included with the Development System for details.
