Restart Atmel Studio, allow help to make changes and the Performance Analyzer GUI is available in the Tools menu 3. If not already preprogrammed - program the node with the Performance Analyzer FW available in the "Wireless Performance Analyzer Firmware extension" or from source code provided in ASF.
2.3 Program use How to get started 1. Connect the Wireless board assembly, with the Performance Analyzer FW programmed, to the PC USB connector and power on, a COM port should now be available for the kit. 2. Power on any other wireless node assemblies of similar frequency, running the Performance Analyzer FW, and use it as a reference. 3. Start Performance Analyzer GUI, connect to the kit via the COM port and follow the quick start guide. 4.

5. Persistence Memory A dedicated memory space is allocated to store product specific information and called the Persistence Memory. The organization of the persistence memory is as follows: Table 5-1.
6. Agency Certifications 6.1 United State (FCC) This equipment complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules and regulations. To fulfill FCC Certification requirements, an OEM manufacturer must comply with the following regulations: 1.
Important The 'CE' marking must be affixed to a visible location on the OEM product. The CE mark shall consist of the initials "CE" taking the following form: The CE marking must have a height of at least 5mm except where this is not possible on account of the nature of the apparatus. The CE marking must be affixed visibly, legibly, and indelibly.
Warning The Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) must ensure that the OEM modular transmitter must be labeled with its own FCC ID number. This includes a clearly visible label on the outside of the final product enclosure that displays the contents shown below. If the FCC ID is not visible when the equipment is installed inside another device, then the outside of the device into which the equipment is installed must also display a label referring to the enclosed equipment.
