B.2 Using the DTM-3237 development kit
B.2.1 Hardware installation
The DTM-3237 board has to be connected with the USB cable to a development PC. Connect the
DTM-3237 to the power-supply using the power connector. The DTM-3237 will boot which will take
a few seconds. During this time the LEDs on the DTM-3237 are flashing in a start-up pattern. Wait
until the DTM-3237 status LED turns (blinking) green.
B.2.3 USB driver
The DTM-3237 uses a default USB serial driver (usbser), which needs to be installed with
Dtm3237.inf
driver file. Connect the DTM-3237 to a USB port on the PC with the USB cable
included in the development kit. After a while the USB connection to the DTM-3237 board will become
visible as a DTM-3237 - DVB-S(2) Demodulator device.
At that point the driver can be updated by using the “Update Driver Software” window (right mouse
button) and selecting the
Dtm3237.inf
file from the development kit. After installing the driver, the
DTM-3237 is ready to be used with Dtm3237Util or any other software which uses the COM-port
interface to communicate with the DTM-3237.
