USB interface and the Video Frame grabber in the video module for the
easyScan 2 AFM. These drivers are installed first.

not be installed.
- Connect the USB cable to the easyScan 2 controller.
The red USB power light on the controller now lights up on controllers
with normal speed USB (1.1). The red USB power light on the controller
starts to blink on controllers with high speed USB (2.0).
If you have connected a high speed USB controller to a normal speed USB
connector, the computer will display a message that you have connected a
normal speed device to a high speed connection.
- Install the system a computer with high speed USB support if this mes-
sage is displayed and you are using the video module version 2.
The image resolution of the video image will be greatly reduced if you do
not use video module version 2 with a high speed USB connection.
Installing the drivers (Windows Vista)
When the controller is connected to the computer, windows automatically
detects that new devices have been connected to it. On some computers,
the detection process takes some time (20 seconds or more), please be
patient.
