3.6 Connecting the HygroLab C1 to a PC
USB connection: connect the HygroLab C1 to the USB port of a PC with the ROTRONIC HW4 software
installed. Note that the ROTRONIC USB driver must be installed on the PC prior to connecting the HygroLab
C1 as explained in the HW4 manual E-M-HW4v3-Main. Both the driver and the installation instructions are
located on the HW4 CD and are also available from the Rotronic website.
Ethernet connection: use of the Ethernet interface requires configuring the HygroLab C1 so as to ensure
compatibility with the LAN to which the HW4 PC is connected. See document E-M-TCPIP-Conf available from
our website.
