The USB port supplies power to S2. When powered from USB, the supply voltage is lower than normal, so the
ultrasound excitation pulse is approx. 20% lower than normal. To achieve full excitation power, it is possible to apply
external power while USB power is connected. This must be done after the USB port is activated.
When connected to the PC the Swarm S2 identifies as a USB serial port, and a virtual COM port is created using
windows Plug’n Play.
