can check the communication channel that connects the two devices by setting one module to send data and
monitoring the other device to see if the data is properly received.
Module to Computer
Connect a Click 510 to a computer to perform a link test using test patterns. In this application, you can check the
communicaton channel that connects the Click 510 to the computer using a program such as HyperTerminal. Use
HyperTerminal to send data and monitor the Click 510 to see if it is received, or use the Click 510 to send data and
monitor the response on HyperTerminal.
Operating Modes
The Click 510 has seven operating modes: Sensor Emulation, Test Patterns, Autobaud, Baud Rate, Latency Test,
and Reset. These modes are accessed through the mode menu, which is controlled via the push-button; the
system (multicolored) LEDs light up to show which mode you are currently on. The table below shows the LED
color and state associated with each operating mode or task. If the operating mode uses a flashing LED state, the
LED state will be different during the menu selection process and when the operating mode is finally selected.
This dual flashing methodology helps avoid confusion when a mode is operating and the green or yellow LEDs
flicker to indicate serial data activity.

Note.
The LED state during the mode selection process can be either flashing or solid. If the current mode is a flashing
mode, the corresponding blue or green LED will flash during mode selection (see column 2 of the table above).
However, once a flashing mode is selected the red LED will flash instead of the blue or green LED. For example, once
the Sensor Emulation mode selected, the blue LED will be on constantly, but the red LED will flash on and off.
Navigating the Menu via the Push-Button
The menu is navigated via the push-button using hold and press actions:
■
Hold –
Pressing and then holding for at least 1½ seconds allows you to enter the Click 510 menu selection process.
■
Press –
Pressing and then quickly releasing the push-button allows you to make a selection in the menu.
The menu is used to select and run an application’s operating functions. Select an operation function by navigating
though the main menu (multicolored LEDs) and the submenus (yellow and red LEDs) as described below:
1. Enter the main menu by holding the push-button down. Continue holding the push-button to cycle through the
entire menu of functions.
2. Release the push-button once the cycle reaches the desired function (see the table above).
3. Press the push-button again to select the function. Once selected, the function will either start running or the
first submenu (yellow LEDs) will start (the first LED will light up).
4. Hold the push-button to cycle through the first submenu.
5. Release the push-button once the desired submenu selection is displayed.
