USING THE FULLY ISOLATED USB INTERFACE
NanoRanger’s micro
-USB interface can be used to export readings
and to control the device via a PC (SCPI-format). The USB interface
cannot
be used to power NanoRanger, as it is isolated from the main
circuitry to prevent interference. For help connecting NanoRanger,
see the guidance in our website’s NanoRanger section. For SCPI
