Quick Overview

Windows USB Reconfiguration
Click
“Open”
to connect to the uBSP-P-1 and
your screen will look like the following:
Delay reopening communication up to 15
seconds after cycling power, resetting the
unit, or restoring to allow the unit and its
module to reinitialize, otherwise the data
transfer may appear to freeze-up. If this
happens, try closing this software & recycling
power, then reboot the software to recover
(unplugging/re-plugging the USB cable to the
unit may also help).
In addition to the Android Agility mobile app and a wired USB-OTG
connection, this splitter can also be configured and calibrated via
Windows USB Configuration Software and a USB connection to your
PC or laptop. The configuration software is module model specific
and can be downloaded free of charge from our web site at
. This software is also included on a CDROM
bundled with the Configuration Kit TT-SIP (see Accessories section).
For Windows software, look for the program uBSP-uBxx Config.exe,
where uBxx corresponds to the plug-in uB module of interest
(software is compatible with Windows 7 or later versions of the
Windows operating system).
The initial configuration software screen for this model is shown at
left. The Configuration screen is divided into three pages as follows:
Communication Set up, I/O Config/Test, and Calibration. A short
description of each of these pages follows.
This section is used to select a connected transmitter, and
open/close communications with it. Device connection Status is also
indicated here, along with the connected transmitter’s ID info
(Model, Serial Number, & Manufacturer).
