2.6. Communication

Either USB or Ethernet can be used to connect any of the supplied software applications or a custom
application built with the supplied .NET library to the controller. Ethernet sockets are also available for
general ASCII communication with another hardware device. Refer to the Help file for more information
about the ASCII interface.

2.6.1. USB Interface

The USB connection is established through a Type B female connector labeled USB on the QLe (refer to
Figure 2-11). This can be accomplished by one of these two methods:
Method 1: Directly connect to the PC with a standard USB cable. The cable connector type must be
Type A or Type B male depending on the PC, and Type B male on the QLe.
Method 2: Connect through a USB hub. The cable connector type must be Type A or Type B male
depending on the hub, and Type B male on the QLe.
Method 1 is the most commonly used. Method 2 is necessary only when the number of QLes to be
connected is larger than the number of available USB ports on the PC.
