2. Getting started
2.1. First Steps
2.1.1. Check HAL-APB V1.x
– Connect the HAL-APB to the supply voltage.
– Check if the power-on self-test was passed successfully. (ERROR LED is switched
off after power on. Exception: LIN mode)
Board Supply
The HAL-APB requires a stabilized power supply. For this purpose, either when using it
without housing, the connector X2 (DC jack) or the terminal beneath it can be used.
Power-On Self-Test
The HAL-APB firmware provides a power-on self-test. The self-test is started after con-
necting the board supply. During the self-test, the status LEDs including the Error LED,
will flash.
In case of a detected error, the ERROR LED remains illuminated after the self-test. In
LIN mode the ERROR LED is switched on as long as the Vsupply of the sensor is not
set to 12 V.
2.1.2. Check Communication with PC and Hall Sensor Connection
Connect a Hall sensor with the HAL-APB.
(a) directly into the socket HAL 1
or
(b) into one of the sockets of the HAL-APB extension board (housing version).
Note: For the first communication check, we recommend using the sensor specific
Programming Environment LabView software provided by Micronas for the spe-
cific HAL sensor.
you can also
– set up a Hyperterminal connection (see Section 6 on page 18)
– switch Vdd on using the “vho1” command (see Section 7.2 on page 21).
– try to read out a register (see chapter of the used sensor type).
