IM1800

The IM1800 is a companion interface board for the DM1800 series transceiver modules. It has two uses: First, the IM1800 can be used as a general purpose interface for DM1800 series transceiver modules. For this application, the IM1800 provides a captured screw I/O terminal block, a virtual serial port USB interface, and a choice of USB, coaxial plug or terminal block for the DC power supply input. For DM1800 base stations and field nodes, the IM1800 supports serial communications through the virtual serial port USB interface, or by direct connection to the USART on the DM1800 module.

Second, the IM1800 can be used as a development platform for applications where a DM1800 series transceiver will be installed a customer's board. In addition to the features listed above, the IM1800 provides a connector strip for jumpering a flat cable to a customer's board (or for a logic analyzer/oscilloscope connection), and a "bread board" area for building and testing interface  circuits.
