TDL2A Evaluation Kit
With onboard RS232 driver, serial port and antenna connector
TDL2A Eval Kit
 

TDL2A Evaluation Kit enables user to evaluate transparent data link capability of TDL2A OEM modems. The eval kit is also useful for range testing and it enables evaluation of TDL2A for various antenna types, areas of weak coverage (inc null spots), packet errors etc.

Figure 1: TDL2A Eval Kit
The Eval kit feature an on board MAX232 RS232 driver, 9 way D connector, 5V voltage regulator, SMA RF connector and helical antenna, hence requires just a Voltage supply to power up and operate a TDL2A without any additional interface circuitry. The snap off feature of the PP3 battery holder reduces the board size by half (73 x 33 x 17mm) and allows external power supply connection.
