  Description
  -----------

  CAEN Modules listed above are conform to USB Communication Device Class Abstract Control Model 
  (= USB CDC ACM) that is supported by Linux kernel since version 2.6.x
  
  If recognized by Linux OS, CAEN Module is assigned to serial port with name /dev/ttyACM[x], where [x] is device number; 
  for example 1st module connected  is /dev/ttyACM0, 2nd module is /dev/ttyACM1 etc. See more details with the dmesg command.
  
  In some Linux distributions the module is not recognized and it has to be added manually with the command: 
	modprobe usbserial vendor=0x21e1 product= [id]
  The product id can be found running the command dmesg after connecting the module.
  Once added the module, to get the serial port name (e.g. ttyUSB0), use dmesg command.
