7.5 PC USB connections
The P340 controller supports USB 2.0 connections to a Microsoft Windows PC to allow high-speed files
transfer from the Compact Flash Card.
NOTE: The controller is compatible with high-speed, powered USB ports. We do not recommend
connection to external USB hubs or older 1.1 USB ports.
To connect via USB:
NOTE: Only use USB 2.0 graded cable to connect the controller to your computer.
1. Switch the controller off for the duration of the connection. The integrated card reader will draw
sufficient power from the computer’s USB hub.
2. Switch the computer on and running normally.
3. Connect the supplied USB cable to the unit and to a free USB port on the computer. Do not use an
external USB hub.
4. On Microsoft Windows-based computers, the controller will appear as a Mass Storage Device. The
PC will assign a drive letter, for example E:, and will be listed in the My Computer window.
5. After the computer has mounted the card, run FlexiSight Manager (if installed) and import your
JOBS files.
6. Alternatively open the card drive in Windows Explorer. See Section 9.1 for information about the
Jobs folder structures.
