6. Serial Connection to the SM-USB Module from IMKO
The SM-USB provides the ability to connect the SONO MIX MINI only to the IMP-Bus from IMKO.
In fact that the IMP-Bus is more robust and enables the download of a new firmware to the
SONO probe, the SONO probes are presetted ex-factory to the IMP-Bus. So it is recommended to
use the IMP-Bus for a serial communication
. Both connector ports are shown in the drawing below.
The SM-USB is signalling the status of power supply and the transmission signals with 4 LED´s. When
using a dual-USB connector on the PC, it is possible to use the power supply for the SONO probe
directly from the USB port of the PC without the use of the external AC adapter.
