3.3  USB Interface module 

The  4  pin  connector  of  the  USB  Interface  module  can  be  attached  directly  to  the  AD  Converter 
module. A mini USB cable can be attached to the mini USB B connector. 

 

 
 

  

The USB interface provides a USB 1.1 or 2.0 connection to a computer (note the USB interface is not 
USB 3.0 compatible). It is possible to connect multiple  USB interface modules  to one PC, up to the 
current limit of your USB ports. 
 
USB Driver Installation: 
Normally Windows will recognize the USB interface as a USB to COM port converter. Windows will 
install the  driver automatically or download the  driver  from the  internet. In some  cases  the  driver 
needs  to  be  installed  manually.  The  latest  drivers  can  be  downloaded  from  the  FTDI  website.

When  Windows  has  installed  the  driver  properly  it  will  assign  a  COM  port  number  to  the  USB 
Interface. Through this port number the communication can be established. Look up  at your device 
manager to find out the  assigned port number. The  figure below  shows an example  that Windows 
has assigned COM4 to the connected USB interface.
