1.2.4 Remote Control Interface (PC Connection)
CT Analyzer devices as of serial number JHxxxx or newer are equipped with a
USB interface and a RS232 interface. You can use both interfaces alternatively
to connect the CT Analyzer to a computer.
OMICRON recommends to use the USB interface since communication via USB
is considerably faster than communication via RS232.

Since in this case the CT Analyzer provides two alternative interfaces, the user
has to select the interface to be used (or check the selection) in the CT Analyzer
settings before connecting the CT Analyzer. The factory default setting for those
devices is USB.
1. Open the Main Menu on the CT Analyzer and select Settings.
2. In the Setting Menu page, select Remote Interface.
3. In the Select remote interface port page, select the interface actually used
to connect the CT Analyzer to the computer: USB or RS232.
The CT Analyzer will only communicate via the selected interface. It will not be
recognized by the computer if the CT Analyzer settings do not match the
interface used for connection.
