  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=0x0006
  The product id can be different and it 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.
