Quick Start
1) With the power off, connect the 12VDC power sup-
ply to the MAXSMBUS board between POS9 and
GND. The MAX1756 IC鈥檚 5V supply comes from the
MAXSMBUS board.
2) Connect the boards together.
3) Connect the 25-pin I/O extension cable from the
computer鈥檚 parallel port to the MAXSMBUS board.
The software uses a loopback connection to confirm
that the correct port has been selected.
4) Ensure that the jumper settings are in the default
position (Table 1).
5) Install the software on your computer by running the
INSTALL.EXE program on the floppy disk. The pro-
gram files are copied and icons are created for
them in the Windows start menu.
6) Turn on the power supply.
7) Start the MAX1756 program by opening its icon in
the start menu.
8) Click on the Measure Temperature (SAR) button,
and observe the measured temperature.
