USB Interface
Connect the TitanSDR receiver to a 480 Mbit/sec Hi-Speed USB 2.0
port of the host PC using the provided USB cable or, as an
alternative, a shielded USB cable (maximum length of 1 meter)
with the Hi-Speed USB certification label (Figure 5).

In order to get the best performance from the USB link, don’t
connect USB devices to the PC other than TitanSDR receiver
(except for mouse and keyboard).
In order to maximize USB performances, TitanSDR application
automatically set the “High performance” power plan in Windows
Power Options.
Wi-fi or Bluetooth connections can limit throughput over the USB
interface, especially in Notebooks: disable wireless and Bluetooth
cards in Windows “Device Manager”.
Notebook embedded webcams are often connected to the USB
controller, demanding much of USB bandwidth and, for this
reason, potentially affecting the TitanSDR performance. Therefore,
if a webcam is present, please switch it off when the receiver is
running.
In desktop computers, use the rear USB ports: the front ports
usually have poor performances.
Keep all the system devices drivers updated and always check
drivers’ compatibility with the installed Operating System.
