3.3 Connecting a computer
The 855 Robotic Titrosampler requires a USB connection to a computer in
order to be able to be controlled by a PC software. When a 6.2151.000
controller cable is used, the instrument can be connected directly, either to
a USB socket on a computer, to a connected USB hub or to a different
Metrohm control instrument.

sampler is recognized by the PC software. To accomplish this, you must
