Compatibility and setup

The supplied analysis software is cross-platform and supports Windows, macOS and Linux. The host computer requires a USB socket. The manufacturer documents an A-to-Micro-B cable connection from the host to the miniSniffer 2, while the device-side USB-A socket accepts the target device’s regular cable. Check the current manufacturer documentation for software and cable requirements before deployment.
