USB interface
The units come equipped with a USB interface. The USB interface complies with Standard USB 1.1 /
USB 2.0 / USB 3.0 (full speed). The USB port is operated as a virtual COM port. Therefore, the port
transmission speed can be changed within the defined baud rates (9,600, 19,200, 38,400, 57,600
baud. Data exchange is accomplished via a defined command sequence structure (frames). The
command sequences correspond with the RS 232 interface installation diagram.
Note Installing the USB port with the virtual COM port:
If the USB port is to be used for data exchange between PC and incubator, the USB port is installed
as virtual COM port (USB serial port) using the supplied driver.
The assigned COM port can be located in the Windows Device Manager/Ports dialog box, e.g.
USB Serial Port (COM5), and is then defined as communication port in the S
