Connecting the ED40 to the Host
ED40 supports an RS-232 interface or a USB interface.
RS-232 Interface
The RS-232 TTL interface has standard baud rates from 460800 to 75. It supports
ISCP protocol for data output, imager control, and configuration (raw data and
encapsulated data modes supported).
These connections allow for normal operation and firmware download.
