Connecting USB devices
Two USB connectors (Type A sockets) are available for connecting devices
with USB interfaces. The 815 Robotic USB Sample Processor XL functions
then as a USB hub (distributor). If you wish to connect more than two USB
devices, you can also use an additional commercially available USB hub.
Note
When a USB device is connected, the control instrument recognizes
which device is connected. The control software automatically enters a
connected USB device into the system configuration (Device manager).
