Connect the USB cable from PRSalpha Control Box to computer

If you have not installed the ShopBot Control Software on the computer, do it now. This will

install the driver for the USB cable.

On many computers, there are multiple slots for the USB cable. Once you have decided on

the one you are going to use, always plug the ShopBot USB cable into the same slot. Plug

the USB cable into the USB port on your computer.

The USB cable provided is 10 feet long. If it is necessary to increase the length of the USB

cable, use a USB 2.0 hub at the junction between the cable sections. Using a cable longer

than 10 feet without a hub as a booster may result in loss of signal or increased electrical

interference.
