58 CHAPTER 7 • CLICK 510
Module to Computer
Connect a Click 510 to a computer to perform a link test using test patterns. In this applica-
tion, you can check the communicaton channel that connects the Click 510 to the computer
using a program such as HyperTerminal. Use HyperTerminal to send data and monitor the
Click 510 to see if it is received, or use the Click 510 to send data and monitor the response
on HyperTerminal.
Operating Modes
The Click 510 has seven operating modes: Sensor Emulation, Test Patterns, Autobaud, Baud
Rate, Latency Test, and Reset. These modes are accessed through the mode menu, which
is controlled via the push-button; the system (multicolored) LEDs light up to show which
mode you are currently on. Table 7.1 shows the LED color and state associated with each
operating mode or task. If the operating mode uses a flashing LED state, the LED state
will be different during the menu selection process and when the operating mode is finally
selected. This dual flashing methodology helps avoid confusion when a mode is operating
and the green or yellow LEDs flicker to indicate serial data activity.
Operating Mode/Task Selection LED State Operating LED State
Sensor Emulation Blue Flashing Blue On with Red Flashing
Test Patterns Blue Solid Blue Solid
Baud Rate Green Flashing Green On with Red Flashing
Autobaud Green Solid Green Solid
Latency Test Yellow Solid Yellow Solid
Reset Red Flashing Red Flashing
Table 7.1 – Operating Modes and LED States
Note
The LED state during the mode selection process can be either flashing or solid. If
the current mode is a flashing mode, the corresponding blue or green LED will flash
during mode selection (see column 2 of Table 7.1). However, once a flashing mode is
selected the red LED will flash instead of the blue or green LED. For example, once
the Sensor Emulation mode selected, the blue LED will be on constantly, but the red
LED will flash on and off.
Navigating the Menu via the Push-Button
The menu is navigated via the push-button using hold and press actions:
˽ Hold – Pressing and then holding for at least 1½ seconds allows you to enter the Click
510 menu selection process.
