specifications.
Product Overview
The Click 500 allows you to create applications by designing a multimodal operating menu,
navigated by the press of a single button. The simple menu system allows you to quickly
create a menu that switches between operating modes that are identified by a multi-colored
LED.
The operating modes can interact with all the hardware components of the device via the
Click 500 library routines. These routines comprise a convenient function library that pro-
vides direct control over the key hardware features.
Figure I.1 shows the relationships of the key high-level components of a custom application.
