Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

"Yes", see the "Alternative Method" on page 123 of the manual.

Yes, you can do it using USB type A to A (normal USB communication) or USB type A to B for serial communication.

You can read in Appendix G of the CMM2 User Manual more details about these two approaches.
