Memory devices to be connected to the instrument for storing measurements, setups, and
files.
USB Interface – Type Mini-B
The USB 2.0 interface can be used to connect the MS272xC Spectrum Master directly to a PC.
The first time the MS272xC is connected to a PC, the normal USB device detection by the
computer operating system will take place. The CD-ROM that shipped with the instrument
contains a driver for Windows XP that is installed when Master Software Tools is installed.
Drivers are not available for earlier versions of the Windows operating system. During the
driver installation process, place the CD-ROM in the computer drive and specify that the
installation wizard should search the CD-ROM for the driver.

The headset jack provides audio output from the built-in AM/FM/SSB demodulator for testing
and troubleshooting wireless communication systems. The jack accepts a 2.5 mm 3-wire
miniature phone plug such as those commonly used with cellular telephones.

connector. Do not overtighten the connector.
