This document provides information on the contents and usage of the MTi 600-series Development/Starter Kit. The MTi 600-series Development Kit (MTi-600-DEV) enables users to evaluate features of the MTi-600 module. In addition to the MTi-600 interfaces, this Development Kit includes a USB and RS422 interface. The MTi 600-series Starter Kit contains all the cables and accessories that are required to get started with a robust MTi 600-series tracker. In addition to the MTi-600 interfaces, this Starter Kit includes an RS232 to USB converter dongle.
The MTi 600-series Datasheet provides information on the usage and technical details of the MTi 600-series. The MTi 600-series module (MTi-600) is a fully functional, self-contained module that is easy to design-in. The MTi-600 module can be connected to a host through RS232, CAN or UART interfaces, or through USB using the UART to USB converter (included in the MTi 600-series Development Kit). The robust MTi 600-series tracker supports an RS232 and CAN interface, as well as USB using the Starter Kit's RS232 to USB converter dongle.
