The MudChecker communicates with the software via USB communication.
USB 2.0 (or higher) must be available on the host PC as well as one open
USB slot.
Notes
• It is important to note that only one device can be connected to the soft-
ware at a time.
•
Multiple devices can be used with the software. However, only one device
can be connected at a time
• Avoid plugging in or unplugging any other USB device (such as thumb
drives) while the test or the software is running. This is particularly im
-
portant while the test is running (Mode 1 connected to the software) as
Windows normal feature of automatic USB detection will interfere with the
communication between the software and the device, which may cause
the test to be prematurely terminated.
• MudChecker devices can be switched in the PC while the software is run-
ning. Do not switch devices or unplug a device while the test is running (In
Mode 1 with the software) as this may interfere with the normal operation
of the device.
• The micro USB cable supplied with the device should be used to connect
the device to the PC. Other cables may be used but not recommended.
•
The drivers for the device USB should automatically be installed the first
time it is connected to the host PC. In case the device communication is
not working properly, it may be necessary to go to the manufacturer web-
site (for example FTDI) to download the required USB drivers for the PC.
