Connecting COMPACT MAX to a PC via the USB port
• Connect COMPACT MAX to your PC using the USB cable provided with the reader.
• To access the ID codes stored in the reader’s memory via USB, the reader must be turned off. Up to 4’000 ID codes can be stored in
reader. The COMPACT MAX memory is accessible thanks to S-ID companion SW, or in mass storage configuration.
In this configuration, available both on PC and MAC, COMPACT MAX is seen like a standard USB stick. Codes are recorded in the
“Session.txt” file, stored in a folder named CMAX and available on your PC or MAC.

USB cable at each reading.
Two interfaces are supported, as described in the “Icons Legend of the Settings menu”:

where a mouse cursor is active. No configuration on the PC is needed.
VCP:

Codes are received on a hyper-terminal or using Datamars S-ID SW.
