Appendix A - PureView Specifications
PureView Power Source:
It is highly recommended that all models of PureView Pulser-Receivers be supplied with USB power from an
independently-powered USB hub or from a PC’s USB port that offers enhanced-power. A powered hub
capable of supplying at least 1A and preferably 2A of current to the PureView instrument is sufficient. This
level of current is required for supplying power to the PureView pulser, especially as the PureView instrument
powers up.
