The Power tab on the Generic USB Hub
Properties window lists the current power
consumption requirements for the connected USB
device. This information can be useful to ensure a
USB device that is connected to the Paramount's
Instrument Panel's USB hub does not exceed the
maximum power specifications.
Note that some users report that the above
settings can change after a Windows update, so
you may need to reapply these settings
occasionally.
To minimize issues related to operating-specific
power management features, Software Bisque
strongly recommends reviewing your computer's
power plan before attempting to automate
observatory control.
