Introduction
The DS Series encoder / decoder offers a simple, efficient and
cost-effective method of adding wireless remote control capabilities to any
product. The Basic Evaluation Kit gives a designer all the tools necessary
to correctly and legally incorporate the DS Series encoder / decoder
into an end product. This guide shows how to take full advantage of the
development boards included with the system. The evaluation kit serves
several important functions:
• Rapid Evaluation: The boards allow the performance of the DS Series
encoder / decoder to be evaluated quickly in a user’s environment.
• Prototype Development: An on-board prototyping area allows for the
development of applications directly on the development board.
All signal lines are available on a header for easy access.
• Range Testing: Using the on-board encoders and decoders to generate
a simplex transmission, a pair of development boards can be used to
evaluate the range performance of the modules.
• Design Benchmark: The boards provide a known benchmark against
which the performance of a custom design may be judged.
This kit includes 4 DS Series encoders / decoders*, 2 LR Series
transmitters*, 2 LR Series receivers*, 2 development boards, 2 CW Series
antennas, 1 CR2032 battery, 2 AAA batteries and full documentation.
*Two DS Series encoders / decoders, 1 LR Series transmitter and 1 LR Series receiver are
soldered to the boards, the rest are for use on prototypes.
