All USB connections require standard USB A-to-B type cable.
Figure 11: USB cable
The flat, rectangular end of the cable is the "A" connector. The smaller,
hexagonal end is the "B" connector.
TIP
• The USB standard limits the USB cable length to 5 meters. Each USB
device can be separated from the computer or next USB hub by no
more than 5 meters.
• After connecting the USB cables and before turning on the power to
a device for the first time, verify that the chromatography software
is installed on the computer. When the power is turned on, the
required USB drivers are automatically found and the Windows
operating system can detect the device.
