Introduction
The Linx MS Compact Handheld transmitter offers a simple, efficient and
cost-effective method of adding remote control capabilities to any product.
This Master Development System gives a designer all the tools necessary
to incorporate the transmitter, LR Series receiver and MS Series decoder
into a product. The Master Development System serves several important
functions:
• Rapid Evaluation: It allows the performance and features of the
transmitter, LR Series receiver and MS Series encoders and decoders
to be evaluated quickly in a user’s environment.
• Range Testing: The transmitter and receiver board form a full remote
control system so that the range performance can be evaluated.
• Design Benchmark: The boards provide a known benchmark against
which the performance of a custom design may be judged.
• 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.
The Master Development System includes 2 MS Compact Handheld
transmitters, 2 LR Series receivers*, 2 MS Series decoders*, 1 receiver /
decoder development board,1 CW Series antenna, demonstration software
CD and full documentation.
*One part is soldered to the board, one extra is for use on your first prototype board

Using the Master Development System
Using the Master Development System is straightforward. After unpacking
the board, screw the antenna onto the connector, install the supplied
9V battery, and turn on the power switch. The encoder and decoder are
configured from the factory and work straight out of the box. To create a
new address (if desired), follow these easy steps:

1. Press and hold the CREATE button on the transmitter to create a new
Code Word. This is done by sticking a paper clip through the hole on
the back of the case and pressing the button inside. The Code Word is
randomized for as long as the button is held down. Once comfortable
that the number is sufficiently random, release the button.
2. Once the button is released, the MODE_IND LED begins flashing to
8
indicate that it is ready to accept Control Permissions. Press all of the
data line buttons that are to be recognized, then press the CREATE
button again or let it time out after seventeen seconds.
9
3. Press the LEARN button on the decoder board and the MODE_IND
LED starts flashing. Press any of the data line buttons on the
transmitter and press the LEARN button again. The encoder’s Code
Word has now been learned by the decoder and they will operate
together.
Troubleshooting
If the boards fail to work out of the box, then try the following:
• Check the battery to make sure it is not dead.
• Make sure the baud rate switches are set to 9,600bps on the decoder
board.
1. 9V Battery
2. Power Jack
3. On-Off Switch
4. Voltage Regulator
5. QS Series USB Module
6. Prototype Area
7. Break-Out Header
8. RP-SMA Antenna Connector
• Make sure that the antenna is connected.
9. LR Series Receiver
10. MS Series Decoder
11. Data Line LEDs
12. Indicator LEDs
13. Function Switches
14. LEARN Button
• Check to see if the PDN switch is on, placing the decoder into Power
Down Mode. In most cases, the decoder PDN switch should be on.
• Make sure that the Control Permissions are set correctly. If the encoder
has not been set to use a particular line, then when that button is
pressed on the transmitter, the MODE_IND LED on the decoder board
lights up, but the data line LED does not light up.
If all of these appear to be in order, then you can call +1 800 736 6677 or
e-mail [email protected] for technical support.

Setting the Transmitter Address
MODE_IND Window
The MS Compact Handheld
Transmitter allows the selection
of one of 16,777,216 (224) unique
addresses. All transmitters are
supplied set to a unique address
to avoid contention with other
units; however, the address can be
changed. This is accomplished by
CREATE Button
using a paper clip or probe to press
the CREATE button on the board
through the hole in the back of the
Figure 4: CREATE Button Access
case. Press the button and an LED lights up in the MODE_IND window,
indicating that the address is being created. The address is randomized for
as long as the button is held down. Release the button and the randomized
address is saved and the LED begins flashing to indicate that the Control
Permissions may now be set. Press the buttons that the transmitter should
have the authority to access. Press the CREATE button with the paper
clip again or wait 17 seconds for it to time out. The address and Control
Permissions are now set. The decoder needs to learn the address before it
will accept any transmissions. Please see the Typical Applications section
of this data guide or the MS Series Decoder Data Guide for details.
OTX-***-HH-CP8-MS Button Assignments
Figure 5 illustrates the relationship between the button locations and
encoder data lines.
Contention Considerations
It is important to understand that only one transmitter at a time can be
activated within a reception area. While the transmitted signal consists
of encoded digital data, only one carrier of any particular frequency can
occupy airspace without contention at any given time. If two transmitters
are activated in the same area at the same time, then the signals will
interfere with each other and the decoder will not see a valid transmission,
so it will not take any action.
Battery Replacement
The remote unit utilizes a standard CR2032 lithium
button cell. In normal use, it provides 1 to 2 years of
operation. To replace the battery, remove the access
cover by pressing firmly on the label area and sliding it
off. Once the unit is open, remove the battery by sliding
it from beneath the holder. Replace it with the same
type of battery while observing the polarity shown in
Figure 6.
There may be the risk of explosion if the battery is
replaced by the wrong type.

The Decoder Board
The decoder board included with the evaluation kit uses an LR Series
receiver to receive the signal from the Handheld transmitter and then
feeds it into an MS Series decoder. The board is designed to allow full
access to the many features of the decoder and to speed development
and integration of the LR and MS into a product. The following sections
describe the features of this board in detail.
The Prototyping Area
The prototyping area on the decoder board contains a large section of
plated through-holes so that external circuitry can be placed on the board.
This circuitry can be interfaced with the MS Series decoder through the
breakout header to the right of the holes. At the bottom of this area is a row
connected to the 3V power supply and at the top is a row connected to
ground.
All of the data lines are connected to a wire-wrap header to the right,
allowing easy access from the prototyping area. The Decoder Data and
TX ID lines are also available on the header as well as the PDN line from
the RF module. This allows complete control of the entire system from the
prototyping area, giving the designer a great deal of flexibility in using the
board.
The Power Supply
The power supply on the decoder board consists of a 9V battery
and power jack connected to a 3.0V voltage regulator. It can provide
approximately 500mA of current to the prototyping area, so if the added
circuitry will need more than this, the designer must add an external supply.
If the circuit consistently draws more than 100mA of current, it might be
better to use the power jack rather than the battery, as the battery may run
down fairly quickly, reducing testing and development time.
The jack accepts a standard 5.5mm plug with the tip ground and the outer
shell 7 to 16VDC positive supply. While a reverse voltage protection diode
has been included on the board to protect the circuitry in case the voltage
on the plug is reversed, it is still a good idea to double-check the polarity.

The RF Area
The Figure 10 shows the RF area of the development board. The board
uses the LR Series receiver as shown. Attach the included antenna to the
reverse polarity SMA connector before operation.
Figure 10: The Decoder Board RF Area
Under the LEDs is a button that is connected to the LEARN line. This
button is used to learn the Code Word from the encoder as described in
the MS Series Decoder Data Guide.
There are four switches to the left of the CREATE / LEARN button. BSEL0
and BSEL1 are used to set the baud rate of the decoder as shown in
Figure 12. The Keyfob transmitter is set to 9,600bps, so BSEL0 should be
on and BSEL1 should be off. If the switch is up, then the line is high (on); if
down, then the line is low (off).
BSEL1BSEL0Baud Rate

019,600
1019,200

The Decoder Area
Figure 11 shows the decoder area of the development board.
Figure 11: The Decoder Area
The decoder is in the center beneath the Linx logo. To the left are LEDs that
are connected to the decoder data lines. These light up when the decoder
receives a signal from the transmitter instructing it to take the data line high.
LED D0 corresponds to data line D0 and so forth.
Beneath the decoder are two LEDs. D12 is connected to the MODE_IND
line. D8 is connected to the RX_CNTL line and provides visual feedback
by lighting up when the decoder activates the receiver when in RX Control
Mode.
Figure 12: Baud Rate Controls
Note: The decoder board must be set to the same baud rate as the
transmitter in order for the signal to be received correctly.
The PDN switch connects the RX_CNTL line of the encoder to the PDN line
of the receiver so that the RX Control Mode can be tested. This mode is
described in the MS Series Decoder Data Guide.
The LATCH switch places the decoder into Latch Mode when on, so that
the data lines go high when a valid signal is received and stay high until
a second valid signal is received. If the switch is off, the data lines are
momentary.

The USB Area
The decoder board has a Linx SDM-USB-QS-S USB module for use with
the included development software. This module is powered by the USB
bus, so it does not pull any current from the battery. Figure 13 shows this
section.
Figure 13: The Decoder Board USB Area
The microcontroller on the right monitors the data lines and generates
commands that are sent to the development software on the PC via the
QS Series USB module. The RX_IND LED to the left of the module flashes
to indicate that data is being received from the PC, and the TX_IND line
flashes to indicate that the module is sending data to the PC.
Installing the Software and Drivers
The Master Development System uses the QS Series USB module to
provide a simple serial interface to a PC via a USB connection. The module
requires drivers to be installed on the PC before it can function properly.
The QS Series Drivers are included on the CD with the software.
The first time the QS module is plugged into the computer, Windows
displays the Found New Hardware Wizard, which guides the installation
of the drivers. Application Note AN-00201 describes the installation of
the drivers in detail. The drivers should be installed before running the
Development Software.
The MS Master Development Software automatically starts when the CD is
inserted and the player in Figure 14 appears.
Exit
Player Screen
The QS Series USB module provides a simple serial link to a PC via a
USB connection. It converts logic-level serial signals to USB-compliant
signals and vice versa, so it can be connected to virtually any serial device,
including microcontrollers, RS-232 / RS-485 level converters, or Linx RF
modules. It is completely self-contained, requiring only a USB type B jack,
and includes all necessary firmware and drivers.

Master Development Software
This software is designed to give a complete understanding of how the MS
Series encoders and decoders work together, as well as showing how they
can be used in a system.
The Master Development software can be used in one of two modes.
The default mode is a software simulation of the system and does not
require any hardware. It simulates two handheld transmitters as well as two
receiving devices. This is a good way of showing how the MS Series can
work in a system by turning on lights and opening doors.
