2.1 LED On/Off
In the LED On/Off scheme, the user can experi enc e to pus h but t ons on the transmitter module to turn on and off t he LEDs on the receiver module. Pus h buttons on the CMT2150A-EM and t he 4 LEDs on CMT2250A-EM are shown and descr ibed as below.

Push Button Function Description
K1
K2 Not us ed. It could be used as Off button if the On/Off button(s) is set as “Separated” on the RFPDK.
K3, K4, K5, K6 Turn on and off the LED1, LED2, LE D 3 and LED4 on CMT2250A-EM respectively.
The user can follow bel ow instructions to experience the LED On/Off scheme.
1. Instal l the lat est RFPD K on the PC (r efer t o “Sect ion 7. 1 I nst al lation S teps ”) and c onnec t t he USB pr ogr ammer to t he PC with a USB cable, t hen start the RFPDK on the PC.
2. Connect the CMT2150A-EM to the USB Programmer with EM-Connector, select CMT2150A on the RFPDK, stay in Basic Mode, select the LED On/Off scheme on the configuration list, as shown in figure bel ow , and burn the configuration to the CMT2150A-EM.
Global On/Off cont rol button, turns on or off the 4 LEDs on CMT2250A-EM . Press K1 more than for 5 seconds will send out the study packet.
3. Repeat step 2 to burn the LED On/Off configuration to the CM T 2250A-EM on the RFPDK

4. After both of the modules are programmed done successfully, the user can start evaluate the LED On/O ff control scheme.
A few key parameters settings in this application scheme are:
Frequency = 433.92 MHz Symbol Rate = 4.8 ksps Encoder = 1920 Push Button Setting = Toggle, 5 buttons Study Function = on Study Button = Pin11 (K1)
Notes:
1. Please r efer to the “AN112 CMT215 0A Configurat ion Guideline ” for the introducti on of Toggle mode of the push but ton setting and the 1920 encoding format.
2. The study f unction is enabled in this sc heme, while the Sync ID on bot h of the Tx and Rx side are set to the sam e by default. In order t o experience the st udy function, the user should s et the Sync ID to the di fferent values bef ore burning the configurati ons to the Tx and Rx devices. Pin11 (K1) is assigned as the study button in Periodic Tx scheme.
2.2 Pulse
In the Pulse scheme, the user can experienc e to push butto ns on the tr ansmitter module to turn on and of f the LEDs on the receiver module. Each time an instruction is issued by pr essing t he button(s ), t he corresponding LEDs will only be turned on for 2 seconds and then automatically swit ched off. The push buttons are shown and described in the figure/table below:

The user can follow bel ow instructions to exper ience the Pulse scheme.
1. Instal l the lat est RFPD K on the PC (r efer t o “Sect ion 7. 1 I nst al lation S teps ”) and c onnec t t he USB pr ogr ammer to t he PC with a USB cable, then start the RFPDK on the PC.
2. Connect the CMT2150A-EM to the USB Programmer with EM-Connector, select CMT2150A on the RFPDK, stay in Basic Mode, select the Pul s e c onfi gurat i on on th e c onfi gur ati on li s t, as s hown in f i gure b el ow, an d burn the configuration t o th e CMT2150A-EM.
Turn on the LED(s) on the CMT225 0A-EM for 2 seconds in the manner s hown in Table 6, and then the LED(s) will be switched off automatic ally.
