INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE AND DRIVERS
Page 8
Figure 7: Software Installer
The Master Development System uses the QS Series USB module to provide a
simple serial interface to a PC via a USB connection. The module requires
drivers to be installed on the PC before it can function properly. The QS Series
Direct Drivers are included on the CD with the software.
The first time the QS module is plugged into the computer, Windows will display
the Found New Hardware Wizard, which will guide you through installing the
drivers. Application Note AN-00201 describes the installation of the drivers in
detail. The drivers should be installed before running the Development Software.
The MS Master Development Software will automatically start when the CD is
inserted and the player in the figure below will appear.
Clicking the Install Software button will start the Installation Wizard, which will
guide you through the installation of the development software. The View
Documentation button will show a list of the application notes and manuals
related to the MS Series. Selecting one of these will open the file in Adobe
Acrobat. The Play Movie button will play a short video about Linx on the Player
Screen, which can be controlled with the Selection Keypad. Clicking the button
on the bottom right of the player will open the Linx Technologies website in the
computer’s default browser.
The View Documentation list allows for the installation of Adobe Acrobat Reader
so that the documents may be viewed. There is also the option of installing
Flash, which may be required if the Linx video does not play correctly.

MASTER DEVELOPMENT SOFTWARE
Figure 8: MS Encoder / Decoder DemonstrationSoftware
This software is designed to give a complete understanding of how the MS
Series encoders and decoders work together, as well as providing an idea of
how they can be used in a system.
The Master Development software can be used in one of two modes. The default
mode is a software simulation of the system and does not require any hardware.
It simulates two handheld transmitters as well as two receiving devices. This is
a good way of showing how the MS Series can work in a system by turning on
lights and opening doors.
The second mode is for use with the Master Development System. When the
decoder board is plugged into a USB port on the PC, the transmitter can be used
to activate the features in the software. If you can see the LEDs on the evaluation
board turn on, then you will see the LEDs in the program turn on and activate the
corresponding data line function.
The figure below is a screen shot of the program set up in Software Operation
Mode for simulating the operation of the system.
The transmitters are on the right hand side and the receivers are at the bottom.
Complete instructions for using the software can be found by clicking on the Help
label at the top right of the window.
