The main purpose of the ZMID520x Evaluation Kit is communica- The modular design allows easy swapping in different
tion between the users computer and the ZMID520x. The users ZMID520x Application Modules (available separately) for
computer sends commands and data via its USB port to the ZMID evaluation using the same ZMID-COMBOARD and ZMID520x
Communication Board (ZMID-COMBOARD). EVKIT Application Software
The kit software is available for download from the IDT
The microcontroller on the ZMID-COMBOARD interprets these

The ZMID520x EVKIT Application Software is a graphical user
interface (GUI) that is provided online for the kit. It supports all
ZMID520x configurations and enables the user to understand the
functionality of the ZMID520x as well as perform measurements.

Restrictions in Use
IDTs ZMID520x Evaluation Kit, consisting of the ZMID-COMBOARD and micro-USB cable used in combination with the ZMID520x Application Module and the
ZMID520x AID EVKIT Application Software, is designed for evaluation and configuration of the ZMID520x product family only. IDTs ZMID520x Evaluation Kit
hardware and software must not be used for characterization measurements in terms of replacing calibrated laboratory environment and measurement devices.
Important Safety Warning: These procedures can result in high currents, which can cause severe injury or death
and/or equipment damage. Only trained professional staff should connect external equipment and operate the software.
!
Important Equipment Warning: Ensure the correct connection of all cables. Supplying the board using the wrong
polarity could result in damage to the board and/or the equipment.
