USB connection

A ‘Type A to Mini-B’ USB cable is required to program and customise the SGD 24-M. It typically takes 10 seconds to send a configuration, with an additional 5 seconds needed for the hardware to reset.

The SGD 24-M can be powered directly from USB and is compatible with both USB 1.1 and USB 2.0. The screw terminals and advanced connector can remain connected whilst using USB, but it is not necessary for V+ to be powered.

You can purchase the USB A-MF cable here.
