Configuring and connecting the USB interface
Select the appropriate USB class for communication from the utility menu.
• USB- TMC stands for USB Test and Measurement Class. USB- TMC is a
protocol built on top of USB that allows GPIB- like communication with
USB devices.
• USB- CDC stands for USB Communications Device Class. USB- CDC is a
composite Universal Serial Bus device class. It provides a single device
class, but there may be more than one interface implemented such as a
custom control interface, data interface, audio, or mass storage related
interfaces. To install the USB- CDC driver, see the USB- CDC Driver
Installation Guide in the U3606A Product Reference CD- ROM.
Then, connect the instrument to your PC using the USB 2.0 cable included
with the instrument.
