Note
Most of the USB devices need a so-called hub in order to work cor­rectly.
A USB hub is a distributor to which several USB devices can be connec­ted. USB hubs are available in specialty stores in a number of different models.
The USB (OTG) connector of the 862 Compact Titrosampler has no such hub. The 6.2147.000 numerical USB keypad has a USB hub and two USB connectors.
The following devices can only be connected to a 6.2147.000 numerical keypad or to a USB hub:
Printer (with USB connector, use the 6.2151.020 connecting cable) Barcode reader (with USB cable) Mouse (PC mouse with USB cable, for navigating in the dialog)
The following devices can only be connected to a USB hub:
PC keyboard (with USB cable, for the comfortable input of letters and
numbers)
Keypad with numerical keypad (with USB cable)
If you wish to connect a variety of instruments without own power supply, then you must possibly use a USB hub with own power supply
(self powered). The USB (OTG) connector of the 862 Compact Titrosam­pler is not designed for supplying power to several devices with elevated electricity requirements.
