Connect the VPFlowScope in-line to the computer
The VPFlowScope in-line can be connected to the computer with the M12 connector through the JB5
interface box. This interface box combines the power and data signals. Power up the device by
connecting the 12VDC power supply to the JB5 interface box. A RS485 to USB converter can be
used to connect the JB5 interface box to the computer.
When a display is available, the VPFlowScope in-line can also be connected by USB. When
connected via USB, you can only download data log sessions and configure the display. For full
functionality you need to connect an additional DC power supply via the M12 connector. We offer a
convenient power supply for this purpose (VPA.0000.200)
Install USB drivers
A driver needs to be installed for the RS485 to USB convert or USB interface. These drivers might be
installed automatically by your windows system or need to be installed manually. All drivers are
available on our website
