USB Interface…
IMPORTANT – USB Isolation is recommended:
The transmitter circuit ground is
connected in common to USB power/signal ground and shield ground. It will make
connection to earth ground when directly connected to the USB port of a Personal
Computer without the use of an isolator. Failure to connect without isolation would
force a potential difference between earth ground at the PC and the earth ground
normally applied in a properly grounded two-wire current loop. This drives an
inadvertent ground loop that can interfere with operation and could damage the
unit. For this reason, USB isolation is strongly recommended when connecting to a
PC. Otherwise, in the absence of USB isolation, a battery powered laptop could be
used to connect to the unit, as the laptop does not normally connect to earth
ground.
