6.1 How to communicate with the LW20 using the Devantech USB to I2C module 
Figure 13 :: Connection to a Devantech USB-ISS module 
The I2C interface is designed for machine-to-machine communications with multiple devices over a small network. In order to test 
the I2C interface on the LW20, an I2C to USB converter can be connected and a limited number of commands can be sent to the LW20 
using the LightWare Terminal application. 
Figure 14 :: The LightWare Terminal application top level window showing the toolbar 
Select the correct protocol using the “Settings” icon on the toolbar of the LightWare Terminal. This should match the I2C converter 
being used and in this example the Devantech USB-ISS adaptor is shown.
