Attaching Modules to the Computer

This section describes how to attach a DT9850 Series module to the host computer.
Notes: Most computers have several USB ports that allow direct connection to USB devices.
If your application requires more DT9850 Series modules than you have USB ports for, you
can expand the number of USB devices attached to a single USB port by using expansion
hubs. For more information, refer to
You can unplug a module, then plug it in again, if you wish, without causing damage. This
process is called hot-swapping. Your application may take a few seconds to recognize a
module once it is plugged back in.
The DT9850 Series module uses less than 500 mA; therefore, it does not require external
power supply.
You must install the device driver before connecting your DT9850 Series module(s) to the host

computer.
