, Application Circuit Figure 2. Application Circuit connection to host processor Serial Data Data enters the 9XCite Module through the DI Pin as an asynchronous serial signal. The signal should idle high when no data is being transmitted. Each data packet consists of a start bit (low), 8 data bits (least significant bit first) and a stop bit
(high). The following figure illustrates the serial bit pattern of data passing through the module. Figure 3. UART data packet 0x1F (decimal number 31) as transmitted through the 9XCite Module The 9XCite Modules transfer 7 or 8 bits over-the-air [Selectable using BI Parameter]. The start and stop bits from the UART signal are not transmitted, but are regenerated on the receiving module. DI (Data In) Buffer Once serial data has entered the 9XCite Module through the Data In (DI) Pin, the data is stored in the DI Buffer until it can be transmitted. Once the first byte of data enters the DI Buffer, the module begins to initialize the RF channel
(unless RF data is being received). In the case where the module is receiving RF data, the serial data is stored in the DI Buffer. When the DI Buffer has only 17 bytes of memory left, the 9XCite Module de-asserts (high) once the DI Buffer has at least 35 bytes available in memory. Once in the DI Buffer, the data is packetized for transmission. [The packet structure is broken down on the next page.]

Through its serial port, the 9XCite Module can communicate directly with any UART-
interfaced or RS-232/485/422 device. [Timing specifications illustrated on page 4]
UART-Interfaced Data Flow Devices that have a UART interface can connect directly through the pins of the 9XCite Wireless OEM Module as is shown in the figure below. Figure 7. Data Flow in a UART-interfaced environment

To transmit, the host device simply sends serial data to the 9XCite Module pins. The 9XCite Module then converts the data to Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) or Single Channel FCC-approved wireless data. Once transmitted, the over-the-air data can be detected by receiving 9XCite Modules, checked for integrity and then sent to a receiving device [Figure below]. Figure 8.

Since the 9XCite Module requires signals to enter at CMOS voltages, one of the main functions of the interface board is to convert interface signals between CMOS levels (2.85 5.50V) and RS-232 levels (-12 - +12V). The MaxStream Interface Board includes the following built-in features:

Mode is selectable using the Function Set dropdown list of the XCite Configuration tab of the MaxStream-provided XCite-CTU Software. Go to the "XCite Advanced Programming & Configuration"
Manual for more detailed information about module configurations. The advanced manual is available on the MaxStream CD or on the web:
www.MaxStream.net) The 9XCite Module is shipped with a unique parameter set in its memory. Parameters within the set are organized under the following three categories: AT Commands, Non-AT Settable Parameters and Read-Only AT Commands. Command & Parameter Types AT Commands AT Commands can be changed at any time by entering AT Command Mode and sending commands to the module. AT Commands can be modified using the any of the following means:
XCite-CTU Software Serial Communications Software (HyperTerminal, Pro Comm, etc.) Microcontroller Non-AT Settable Parameters (XCite-CTU Software configurable only) Non-AT Settable Parameters can only be adjusted using the MaxStream-provided XCite-CTU Software. To modify Non-AT Settable Parameter, connect the module to the serial com port of a PC (interface board is necessary for RS-232 connection) and modify parameter values through the XCite-CTU Software interface. These parameters enable features that need to be set before the module is used in the field. [Non-AT Settable Parameters are listed in table 7.]
Non-AT Settable Parameters can be modified using the following means:
