3.3.7. MINI-USB connector

The mini-USB connector has 2 functions
1. Power supply through a wall mounted transformer. This transformer supplies a
regulated 5V/1A DC voltage.
2. Measurement transmission. If you connect your M3 to a PC, the PC will detect
and install automatically the M3 as a standard USB keyboard with the standard
drivers of your operating system (Windows, Mac OS etc..). When you will send
the measurement, the value will be written on your PC screen where your
cursor is, in the same way as it would have been typed with a keyboard.
