| Initial configuration via USB is required before the units can be used on the network. This requires a USB-to-miniUSB cable, a Microsoft Windows (Version?) (virtual) machine, and the configuration utilities which can be downloaded from the Acromag website (login required). Each model requires a different flavor of the utility to be run. Virtual machines work with USB2.0 ports, but have issues when using USB3.0+ ports. The to-be-configured device needs to be powered by a 12-32V DC voltage source. |

The new uses the Acromag XT series DIN-rail mounted A/D, D/A and BIO moduels. The model numbers are in the format XTYYY1, where "XT" is a static prefix, "YYY" determines the function, and the "1" denotes the ModBus/TCP version of the model. The 1 at the end is important, as the other variations will not interface with CDS through EPICS properly.
