8.1.1.3 Powering the Sensor
The A200 provides power to the sensor when it is connected to a computer
USB port. An internal dc/dc converter boosts the 5 Vdc supply from the USB
connection to a 12 Vdc output that is required to power the sensor.
8.1.1.4 Determining which COM Port the A200 has been Assigned
When the A200 driver is installed, the A200 is assigned a COM port number.
This COM port number is needed when using
Device Configuration Utility
.
Often, the assigned COM port is the next port number that is free. However, if
other devices were previously installed (some of which may not be plugged in),
the A200 may be assigned a higher COM port number.
To check which COM port has been assigned to the A200, monitor the
appearance of a new COM port in the list of COM ports offered in your
software package such as
LoggerNet
before and after the installation, or look in
the Windows Device Manager list under the ports section (access via the
control panel).
