cables and that all connections are secure. When you are finished, double-
check to ensure that all components are connected properly.
Turn the power off before connecting cables.

Controller Connectors
J1 USB This is a standard USB 2.0 connector that accepts a USB-B cable connector
and connects to the computer. This provides a communications interface
between TestWorks on the PC and the controller. This is used to allow
TestWorks, or other software, to change settings in the controller. It also
allows TestWorks to receive data from the controller.
