The fiber optic monitor and control evaluation kit (EV kit)
provides a hardware and software interface for evaluating
the DS1854, DS1857, DS1858, and DS1859. The kit
includes Microsoft Windows®-compatible software
that performs the 2-wire functions required to change
the device settings and monitor the device registers. In
addition to the general communications functions provided
by the software, it allows the resistors' temperature-addressed look-up tables to be programmed from
a text file. The kit hardware includes test points that
allow inputs to be connected to the external stimuli and
outputs to be monitored by test equipment; jumpers
can be used to configure the device for the customer's
application.
