USB Hub
USB HUB
The USB Hub's output ports can be connected or disconnected programmatically to simulate the mechanical connection of a USB device to the module. Additionally, each port has the ability to connect and disconnect the power and data paths separately, enabling the simulation of various connection faults. Take a look at our article, "Bringing USB to the PXI Test Environment" .
