[toggle title = “Introduction”]
Pine offers a Certified Wireless USB kit for use with the Pine WaveNow and WaveNano potentiostats. This kit contains a four-port hub, a power cord, a standard USB cable, and a CD-ROM used to install required device drivers on your computer.
[call_to_action color = “orange”] It is absolutely necessary to install the software and hardware in the sequence described by the original manufacturer.[/call_to_action]
[toggle title = “Installation Instructions”]
The four main steps are:
-
1. Insert the CD and install the software
-
2. Connect the powered-on wireless hub to the computer using the supplied special cable
-
3. Disconnect the wireless hub from the computer after the “association” process is complete (detailed description and screenshots in manufacturer's directions)
-
4. Connect the wireless adapter

[toggle title = “Performance Expectations”]
The manufacturer claims a wireless range of “up to” 30 feet. In our experience, 10 to 20 feet of unobstructed, line-of-sight range should be expected. The performance also seems to be negatively affected by movement, including movement of the wireless hub, the wireless adapter, and people/animals within the room (walking between the hub and adapter).
