Quantum QTM300CA - Manual

QTM300CA USER'S GUIDE
Cloning Adapter for the QT3xx family of QProx™ ICs
The QTM300CA is a cloning
adapter designed to interface
between any QT3xx 8-pin
sensor IC (QT300, QT310,
QT320) and a PC or other
host device.
This adapter permits the
designer to upload settings
from a PC into the target chip
or to read the settings inside a
chip. The supplied cable
allows the board to plug
directly into both the E3A and
E3B eval boards.
For production use, the target
PCB can have a similar connector which allows the QTM300CA to upload settings on
a mass basis. The cloning process takes under 1 second to complete.
The QTM300CA’s eeprom memory permits the board to be used as a stand-alone
cloning adapter once it is programmed from a PC with the desired setups. An onboard
socket also allows the user to program QT3xx parts individually. The QTM300CA can
also be used to read back and verify the settings in QT3xx parts.
For the QT300 continuous IC, this adapter also provides the additional functionality of
interfacing to that device’s SPI port to download signal data, which can then be
observed directly on the PC in real time using QT3View software.
QT3View PC software is included, and updates can be downloaded from Quantum’s
web site.
You should find the following materials included with your QTM300CA:
1x QTM300CA board
1x RS232 DB-9 serial extension cable
1x RC02 (IDC to IDC) clone cable
RC01 (IDC to 7 way, for older E3B boards) is available on request.
