USB DRIVER
To interface to a PC, the evaluation board requires a USB-A to USB-Mini B cable and a USB driver to
function correctly. Recent versions of Windows will automatically identify and install the USB driver
when you plug in the lead.
If the USB driver is not installed, or the evaluation board will not connect to a COMM port, please
download the USB driver from the FTDI website:
https://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm
Choose “VCP Drivers” and select the correct driver for your operating system.
SOFTWARE INSTALLATION
The GSS evaluation board software is available direct from the GSS web site. Download the .zip file
to your computer. Unzip and click on
Setup.exe
and follow the instructions on the screen.
INSTALLING THE SENSOR
The sensor needs to be connected to the board. Rotate the fixing cams out of the way to allow
insertion of the sensor. When the sensor is correctly seated on the pin headers, rotate the cams into
place, clamping the sensor into place.
Insert the sensor before applying power to the board or connecting the USB interface. Refer to
figure 2 on the following page of this user manual to determine the correct sensor orientation.
