Connecting a USB device
If you connect a USB device (memory stick, CD-ROM, an instrument) to the R&S SGU,
the R&S SGU acts as a host.
To connect a USB device to the interface of the R&S SGU, always connect the
USB type Micro-A connector to the R&S SGU. Refer to the documentation of the USB
device to find out which USB connector type you can connect to the USB device.
The Figure 2-2 illustrates schematically the required connector type to emphasize on
the different connector shape.

If you connect an R&S SGS to an R&S SGU via a USB cable, perform the steps as
described in
Chapter 5.2, "Setups for Connecting an R&S SGS and an R&S SGU" ,
on page 41.
Using a USB Adapter
You can use a USB adapter to customize the connectors of a USB cable to the require-
ments of the instrument.
For example, you can use a Type-A / Micro-A adapter to customize a standard USB
cable with type
A and type Micro-B connectors for the connection of an R&S SGS (act-
ing as a host) to an R&S SGU (acting as a USB device).
In some cases, you can also use a Type-A / Micro-B adapter to establish a connection
to the instrument. To check, whether the adapter you have is suitable or not you can
connect a USB stick with an LED through the adapter to the instrument. If the LED of
the USB stick lights up after a connection to the instrument then you can use this
adapter for further applications with the instrument.
