Installation

3. The DI-159 uses the same driver as the DI-145. Click on the

Windows DI-145 USB

Driver

link.

4. Save the file to your local hard drive.

5. Double-click on the downloaded file (

145usbdriver.EXE

) to extract the program and

begin software installation.

6. Driver installation is complete.

You can now plug the device(s) into your PC and connect via your chosen terminal program.
Go to

DATAQ Terminal Emulator

for instructions installing and running the DATAQ Instru-

ments PLC terminal program.

Connecting the Instrument to Your Computer

DI-159 instruments can be connected to your computer’s USB port using the provided USB
cable. No external power is required. Connect one end of the communications cable to the
instrument port and the other to your PC’s port.

Note:

Use a powered USB hub or a USB port on your PC. Non-powered USB hubs may

not have sufficient power to run the instrument.
