4.5 USB Communication 
The USB port is located on the rear of the analyzer. This cannot be multidropped 
with other analyzers, but multiple analyzers can be connected to a single USB port 
on a computer by using a USB hub. This connection is ideal for collecting data 
from a standalone analyzer or using a laptop that may not have a serial port. 
4.5.1 Installing the driver on a PC 
The  following  are  instructions  to  install  the  EC9830  analyzer  to  a  computer 
through the USB connection. It will provide efficient communication between the 
analyzer  and  computer  with  the  use  of  the  EC9800  Communicator  software 
described in section 4.6. 
NOTE: screen shots and instructions below apply to 
Windows  XP,  but  will  be  similar  for  any  other 
Windows operating system. 
1.  Turn on computer and log in. 
2.  Connect the analyzer by USB cable to the USB port on the rear of the 
computer.
