1 General Description

This Manual explains how to use the USB I&P Box.

The USB I&P Box is a Programming-Tool for Magnetic Position Sensors with I2C or SPI Interface.

After connecting a Magnetic Position Sensor to I&P Box you can open the GUI on your computer

and start programming.

For programming a Magnetic Position Sensor the sensor should be mounted on a PCB to get

connected with all the necessary pins of the sensor.

For Position Sensors, ams provides Adapterboards where an easy access from the Sensor to the

USB I&P Box is possible (not in the Tool-Kit included)
