Hi there,  
  
I've been reading information about USB connection on the website and wiki but still couldn't understand what to do ![](https://ec.yimg.com/ec?url=http%3A%2F%2Fmail.yimg.com%2Fus.yimg.com%2Fi%2Fmesg%2Ftsmileys2%2F15.gif&t=1575341096&sig=hIzVNHVkycIDuUeER_v.AA--~E)  
I'm running the expe on win XP (well I know ..) so my question is can I read the usb port wihout fancy external device or toolbox?   
I tried the serial function in matlab but it doesn't seem to 'see' the usb ports, it reports that only my COM ports are available ..  
  
Anyone to give a hand?   
Cheers  
Cyril
