>> Hi,
>> I'm working on a project which has a transformerless mains powered
>> supply. I want to debug it with the ICD-2. I don't have an opto-isolated
>> USB hub but I do have an isolation transformer. Would it would ok if I
>> put the isolation transformer on my labtop (which the ICD-2 is connected
>> to via. USB) and power the circuit I'm working on with mains or
>> alternately use the isolation transformer on the circuit I am working on
>> and plug the laptop in directly.
>> Thanks,
>> Jim
