SDS100/SDS200: USB Connectivity with SDS200

[PCTEK]

Hello. The other night I tried to connect Sentinel software to my SDS200 via the USB-A connector on the front panel. Normally, I connect to my computer by the MicroUSB connector, but the MicroUSB connector on the SDS200 seemed flimsy so I thought the USB-A connector would be a more stable connector.

My computer did not connect or respond to the USB-A connector. Is the USB-A connector meant for programming?

Thanks

No. See thread below regarding USB-A port

SDS200 USB A

What is the purpose of this port? I tried to search for it, but with no luck. Thanks...

If you are concerned about the Micro USB being flimsy, you can always remove the SD card and program it with a card reader on your computer. That method is significantly quicker too.
