determines the kind of this interface.

Use a common “Type A to Type B” cable to
connect the
PC
connector on the RUBIDIUM
SERIES chassis to an USB port at your
computer.
Now turn on the power of the Rubidium modules and start the
Rubidium Config.exe
program on your PC.
A communication can be established to a single module only. Please select the module that
you would like to configure by choosing unit 1 (= located most left front view) up to unit 4
(RUB1 chassis) or up to unit 21 (RUB3 chassis).
