2.0.port...To.make.this.connection,.it.is.necessary.to.proceed.as.follows:

1). First.of.all,.before.making.the.connection.to.the.controller,.install.the.software.on.the.PC;
2). Plug.a.USB/MiniUSB.cable.into.the.front-panel.“TO.PC”.socket.of.the.controller.(C12);
3). Plug.the.other.end.of.the.cable.into.one.of.the.USB.2.0.sockets.on.the.PC;
4). Wait.for.the.operating.system.to.load.the.driver.of.the.device..The.Virtual.Com.Port.icon.(in.the.example,.this.is.COM10).will.appear.in.the.

“Devices.and.printers”.section.of.the.control.panel;

5). From.the.menu,.select.
