USB Interface

The device can be connected to a standard USB 2.0 port on the computer using the provided USB 2.0 to USB C cable. Alternatively a USB C to USB C cable can be used to connect the device to a computer with a USB C port. The device functionality does not change in either case. The device is compatible with Windows, macOS and Linux. The device should be plug and play with all of them. If issues occur drivers can be obtained from FTDI Chip if using a Rev3D stimulator. Rev3E stimulators and onwards do not use external drivers.

The device is controlled using a standard serial interface and provides a shell interface that can controlled via a terminal. There exist a number of terminal emulators both open source and commercial that can be used with the device. Some options are given below:

Serial Port Settings

These settings must used regardless of which operating system or terminal emulator has been chosen. These settings are set in the terminal emulator software itself. The name of the serial port provided by the device is dependant on the operating system. View the quick start guide for a walk through on connecting the device to a PC.

Parameter     Setting    
Baud Rate 115200
Data Bits 8
Parity none
Stop Bits 1

If the terminal program has an option to add a transmit line delay, a value of around 20 milliseconds should be given to allow time for the stimulator to respond to commands when copy pasting a large block of commands at once.
