6.3.3 USB Connection
The FP-X C30 control unit and C60 control unit is equipped with the USB connector. Connecting the
units with a personal computer using the USB cable enables the communication with our software such
as FPWIN GR. (The FP-X C14 control unit is not equipped with the USB connector.)
It is a communication method that uses the USB as a virtual serial port, so that the FP-X connected with
the USB is treated from the PC as that it is connected via the COM port.
(Note that the USB is equivalent to the serial port.)
