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 U3606B
Product Reference CD- ROM.
Then, connect the instrument to your PC using the USB 2.0
cable included with the instrument.
