TxConfig-USB is the configuration interface for setting up Novus Smart Transmitters that aren't fitted with an onboard USB connector. One end plugs into the PC or laptop running the TxConfig software, and the other end connects to the device via a wired connection. Using this interface, the transmitter can be configured without an external power supply — it's powered directly from the current loop.
It's easy to install with no special driver needed, communicates over USB between the PC and the transmitter, configures the transmitter without an external power supply (powered by the USB bus), and makes the electrical connections easy. It's compatible with USB 1.1 and 2.0, and works with Windows XP and Vista as well as current versions of Windows via the newer SigNow software.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Novus transmitters is this compatible with?
Transmitters without an onboard USB connector, including our Temp-WM and TxIsoRail. If you're unsure whether your transmitter needs this interface, check whether it has its own built-in USB port — models like TxBlock-USB and TxRail-USB already have one and don't need this accessory.
Do I need an external power supply to configure the transmitter?
No — the transmitter is powered directly from the current loop via this interface, so no separate power supply is needed during configuration.
Do I need special drivers to install this?
No — it's easy to install with no special driver needed, and is recognised as a standard USB device.
Industry Applications
