1.4 Deploying the DataBridge SDR2-USB

1.4.1Connecting power to your SDR2-USB

The SDR2-USB starter kit includes a 120VAC power supply that connects via the rear panel. If you use an alternate power source, it should be capable of sourcing at least 1W power. When you apply power the power indicator should light and the other indicators should flash in sequence.

1.4.2Configuring your SDR2-USB via the setup file

To successfully receive data from your data source, the SDR2-USB must know at which baud rate the data source is transmitting. Configure the recorder for this baud rate using the setup file.

Insert the USB device you intend to use for recording into your PC’s USB socket. Usually, Windows will respond by displaying the contents of the device. If this doesn’t occur, navigate to the device’s drive letter (e.g. J:).

Right-click within your drive’s contents in Windows Explorer, then select “New” and “Text Document.” When prompted, name the file setup.txt (See Figure 1.3).

NOTE: Your computer’s Windows installation may display different drive letters, file types, etc. due to differences in Windows versions, configurations, and software installations.
