USB “B” Connector
This is the “square” connector for USB devices that use detachable cables. (The standard
“rectangular” connectors found on PCs are “A” connectors, which is why the cable supplied
with the neoVI FIRE 2 is often called a “USB A/B cable”.)
µDB-9 (Micro DB-9) Connector
This connector carries LIN and miscellaneous I/O signals to and from the FIRE 2. A micro DB-9
was used to allow the device to be made more compact; a provided cable converts from this
smaller connector to the standard DB-9 commonly used in the automotive industry.
USB Host Port
The USB “A” connector allows the FIRE 2 to act as a USB host, so other devices can plug into
it. Please see Section 6.2 for more details.
microSD Slot and Cover
This slot holds the microSD card that stores data logged or captured by the neoVI FIRE 2. It is
protected by a metal cover that prevents accidental ejection of the card and protects the slot
from dirt and debris.
You can download the contents of the installed microSD card over USB, or for larger data sets,
remove the card and use the provided external card reader.
Micro-SIM Slot and Cover
This slot can be used to hold a Micro-SIM card. Like the microSD card slot, it is covered with a
metal plate to protect it and the device.
