2.1.2 USB Communications
A standard B type USB header is provided on the display for USB communication. The USB cable pro-
vides power and data to the display. There are two ways of communicating to the display. Under Windows,
the user will have direct access to the display drivers or create a virtual COM Port (VCP). With the VCP,
a new COM Port is created in Windows. Under the control panel the user can set all the options for the
USB device, including speed. Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows 2000, and Windows XP drivers have
been tested and work. VCP drivers are also available for Apple OS-X, OS-8, and OS-9. Linux drivers are
available as well, but have not been tested by us, nor will Matrix Orbital be able to provide any support for
them.
