microDXP Development Kit

Documentation and Software/Firmware downloads

The new USB / RS-232 development kit enables rapid design of systems incorporating the Micro Digital X-ray Processor (microDXP). The kit includes the microComU interface circuit board that routes power and communications signals to the microDXP. The compact microComU is designed for both development and OEM implementation.

The included microManager software supports microDXP configuration, diagnostic functions and spectrum acquisition. With the kit, customers can immediately evaluate standard functions of the microDXP and rapidly build their own prototype spectroscopy systems. The development kit does not include the microDXP itself.

All customers must purchase a development kit with their first microDXP order. The cost of the development kit essentially pays for the standard technical support package. The kit hardware does provide access to the auxiliary I/O, though for more demanding applications additional hardware will be required. Such non-standard development efforts will also require customized firmware and thus extended XIA support.

microDXP RS-232 Communications Specification

USB Communications

Power can be supplied either via USB or via the DC input connector.

RS232 Communications

Power must be supplied to the DC input connector, provided either by the included AC wall adapter or the customer's +5V supply.

microComU:

microComU Hardware Specification

The MicroComU board is designed to facilitate the adoption and use of the MicroDXP. To this end, the MicroComU includes various features to support and extend the functionality of the MicroDXP board. The MicroComU is designed to mate to a MicroDXP and be used as a set. The MicroComU may be used as part of a development kit to aid customers doing custom designs by providing an example of how to interface to the MicroDXP. Alternatively, the MicroComU may also be used as a companion board, where customers would simply order a MicroComU for every MicroDXP.

Provides a standard USB port connection to the microDXP
Generates and routes all necessary DC supply voltages from a single +5V input (via either USB or input power connector)
Includes LED indicators (Error, I/O, RunActive, etc.)
Provides access to the I2C bus
Provides access to the microDXP GATE input
Provides access to the auxiliary digital I/O lines

The microComU interface board provides power and standardized connections to the microDXP .
