5 TSic LABkit™ Hardware
The TSic LABkit™ temperature measurement system uses a PIC 16F628 to receive the digital measurement
values of up to 4 connected temperature sensors (TSic™). The PIC 16F628 converts the digital values into a
serial data string. This data string is transmitted to a serial-USB-converter FTDI232BL. The circuitry is USB 2.0
compatible. Data transmission to the PC is accomplished with a “virtual COM-Port driver,” which emulates a
standard COM interface to transfer the data to the application software.
The low noise design is achieved by low pass filters for all inputs and outputs. The USB connection is decoupled
with an LC filter. Diodes at the sensor inputs provide ESD protection.
5.1 USB-Hardware Configuration
The jumpers on the PCB control the following settings.
Important: Connect either JP1 or JP8, not both at the same time.
Pin Connections Name Settings
JP1
1
2
GND
RBO (/START)
START When JP1 is connected, RB0 is low, which means it is sending.
Do not connect JP1 at the same time as JP8.
JP7
1
2
GND
RB3 (1CH/4CH)
RX
When JP7 is connected, RB3 is low, which means the
temperature values of only one channel are measured and
transmitted.
When JP7 is disconnected, the values of all 4 sensors are
measured and transmitted.
JP8
1
2
RB0
RB1 (RX-START)
RX
When JP8 is connected, RB0 and RB1 are connected, which
means the TSic
TM
LABkit
TM
sends one data set (data line/packet)
after receiving any signal. Do not connect JP8 at the same time
as JP1.
Default Hardware Settings
JP1 is disconnected and JP8 is connected, which means that the TSic
TM
LABkit
TM
sends only after receiving any
signal via interface.
JP7 is disconnected, which means the TSic
TM
LABkit
TM
operates with up to four sensors.

8 Appendix – Data Processing with Examples
8.1 Output String Format
The format of the serial data transmission (i.e., text data stream) is as follows:
The 11-bit sensor value is transferred unscaled as a 16-bit integer (ASCII code). Only the lower 11 bits are
used; the 5 highest bits are 0.
The data rate is 9600 baud. There are 8 data bits, no parity bit, and one stop bit. The transmission of the binary
data for one measurement set is done in a line. Information is sent continuously and separated by “;”
(semicolon). The character “$” and carriage return <CR> mark the end of the transmission.
Typical data line structure example: @;08DA;08C2;08CC;08CA;2332;$<CR>
Characters Definitions
ASCI Characters Description
@´ Synchronization pattern for the beginning of the data line.
08DA
08C2
08CC
08CA
Measurement values of the four sensors; the data is transmitted in 4-bit groups (nibbles)
in hexadecimal ASCII code. The numeric measurement values are 2 bytes (4 ASCII
characters). The resolution depends on the sensor used. If the channel is not connected,
FFF is sent as the measurement.
; (semicolon) Separator between the measurement values.
2332
Check sum of all measurement values as an ASCII coded binary number. This sum adds
all the binary values. It is followed by a “;” (semicolon).
$<CR> The end of the data line.
Measurement data can be logged in a file with a terminal program that allows data to be saved and evaluated at
a later point in time.
