tor of this unit and this unit in two ways: The PC connector via which the PC is connected is the one on the Drive Unit if you
are using Normal Style mode, and it is the one on the Control Unit if you are using Manipulator Style mode. Before connect-
ing the PC to this unit, the dedicated driver software (with the utility program for version indication) must be installed on the

version is displayed in the dialog box, that signifies that the PC and this unit are communicating properly via USB.
