Connection example: USB connection with a PC
Götting offers the optional
connection box M12-5-8-USB
HG G-20960 that can be
used to interconnect the Gyro and the PC. The box allows to connect the gyro using
standard M12 cable.
You can find more information on the connection box at

The USB chip in the Gyro is addressed as a virtual serial interface (virtual COM Port).
Thus devices with USB interfaces can be configured using the same terminal pro
-
grams (see below) that are used for RS 232 connections. Usually the virtual COM
Port driver is installed automatically in current versions of Microsoft® Windows®.
If the Gyro is not automatically detected as a virtual COM port after establishing the
connection the STM32 Virtual COM Port Driver (STSW-STM32102) has to be in
-
stalled manually.
The driver may be downloaded from the following address:

that supports the ANSI emulation

of the scope of supply of earlier versions of Microsoft® Windows®. Additionally it
can be downloaded from the following address:
