Wide supply voltage (10-25V)

About
The DS203 is a serial device server that can be used to quickly network-enable virtually any serial device orsystem. Compared to the original DS100 converter, the DS203 is smaller, faster, and has a larger memory.
The DS203 is offered with Tibbo Device Server Toolkit software, which includes Virtual Serial Port Driverfor Windows and Linux.
This product can also be supplied (loaded) with TiOS firmware and work as a simple BASIC-programmablecontroller.

Function Groups
String functions (21 in total!), date/time conversion functions, and hash calculation functions (md5 and sha1).

Variable Types
Byte, char, integer (word), short, boolean, string, plus user-defined arrays and structures.

Tibbo Integrated Development Environment (TIDE)
All BASIC-programmable Tibbo devices are provided with free TIDE
software.

Code in Comfort
Enjoy a modern code editor supporting syntax highlighting, context help,code hinting, and auto-completion.

Debug with EaseSet breakpoints, watch variables, inspect the stack, step through yourcode... the built-in debugger in Tibbo IDE provides all the tools for fast andconvenient debugging.
Our debugger does not rely on any special hardware like an ICE machineor a JTAG board. Simply connect your Tibbo device to the Ethernet, selectit in the IDE, and you are all set!
