I want to use Embed to read the USB HID device and post-process the data, how can I do it?

Thanks.

    Hi Robert, the USB HID device will function as if it were a serial device.  All supported targets support serial interface and there are example models"Examples/ Embedded" that illustrate how this works.  What micro are you planning to use?

    Hi Ric, I have a tachometer with a usb connection and included software (can display tach and save as .xls) . The signal displayed on the PC is a USB serial port and not a COM serial port. I hope to read the USB signal and integrate and display the data in Embed ("blocks/Real Time/Serial Read"). My goal is to use Embed to integrate common signals (RS232, RS485, SPI, I2C, USB, UART, Modbus...)on PC (not Targets). Thanks for your help.
