APPENDIX E - USB DATA OUTPUT (IF EQUIPPED)
If the instrument is equipped with the USB Communications option, there will
be a four pin male connector on the bottom of the instrument. Also, a USB
cable will be included with the instrument. This cable will have a four pin
female connector on one end and a USB Type-A connector on the other end.
USB Data Output – Instructions for Use
STEP 1: Install a Virtual COM Port (VCP) Driver on your computer.
Free VCP drivers can be downloaded for Windows, Linux, and MAC
from FTDI Ltd on their website:
http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm
We recommend downloading the setup executable, which
automatically runs and configures the drivers for you.
STEP 2: Connect the USB cable (included) to the male connector on the
bottom of your instrument. Connect the other end to a USB port on
your computer.
STEP 3: Turn the Instrument ON.
STEP 4: Verify that the Instrument has been set up as a USB Serial Port with
a unique COM port number. (You only need to do this once)
For Windows users, open the Windows Device Manager (found in
Control Panel) and verify that a USB serial port exists as shown
below.
