target system. The cable can be used with a single FPGA or CPLD, or
several devices connected in a daisy chain.
Using the XChecker hardware requires either a standard DB-9 or DB-
25 RS-232 serial port. If you have a different serial port connection,

Flying Leads
The XChecker Cable is shipped with two sets of flying lead wires. The
flying lead connectors have a nine position header connector on one
end. The other end has eight individual wires with female connectors
that fit onto standard 0.025 inch square male pins.
You need appropriate pins on the target system for connecting to the
