The USB interface uses PC compatible communication drivers, which emulate an RS232
COM port operation through a USB serial connection. This approach allows the
application to use the more available USB connections through a virtual COM port.
A 6.0’ cable with a Serial A Plug and a 2.1 mm, center-positive power Jack molded into a
