Introduction

The Linx NT Series RF transceiver modules offer a simple, efficient and

cost-effective method of adding wireless communication capabilities to any

product. The Master Development System (Figure 1) provides all the tools

necessary to correctly and legally incorporate the NT Series into an end

product. The development boards serve several important functions:

• Rapid Module Evaluation: The boards allow the performance of the Linx

NT Series modules to be evaluated quickly in a user’s environment.

Using the onboard transcoders, a pair of development boards can be

used to evaluate the range performance of the modules.

• Application Development: An onboard prototyping area allows for the

development of custom circuits directly on the development board. All

signal lines are available on a header for easy access.

• Software Development: A PC interface allows for development and

testing of custom software applications for control of the module.

• Design Benchmark: The boards provide a known benchmark against

which the performance of a custom design may be judged.

The Master Development System includes two assembled development

boards, four NT Series transceivers*, two CW Series antennas, two 9V

batteries, four reverse polarity SMA connectors*, a USB interface board

and full documentation.

* One part is soldered to each board
