Figure 2.3.1-1 – Scout Driver Installation 

A Windows Security prompt, shown in Figure 2.3.1-2, will display showing information about the device driver. Confirm 
that the Publisher is indicated as SignalCraft Technologies Inc. Select Install to complete the driver installation process. 

 

Figure 2.3.1-2 – Windows Security Prompt 

Once the installation is complete, connect the Scout device using the USB port. In Windows Device Manager, Scout will 
be identified under the Ports list as SC4415 Scout. 

2.4

 

Ethernet 

The Ethernet interface is non-functional at this time. A future firmware version may enable the Ethernet interface as an 
alternative programming interface. 

 

Do not make any connections to the Ethernet connector at this time as this may cause undesirable 
behavior. 

2.5

 

IO Interface 

Scout has been designed with flexibility in mind. For this  reason, the SC4415 utilizes a 30-pin 0.100” male header for 
the IO Interface. Table 2.5-1 provides the details about the IO interface connector. 

Description 

Value 

Manufacture 

Samtec 

Part Number 

TSS-115-04-G-D-RA 

Table 2.5-1 – IO Connector Details 

This connector provides a high degree of compatibility with various connector mates such as board to board, female 
sockets,  and  individual  test  leads.  Using  the  information  in  Table  2.5-1,  the  mechanical  details  of  the  IO  Interface 
connector  can  be  determined  which  will  assist  in  choosing  a  mating  connector  for  a  custom  application.  Additional 
connector accessories are available from SignalCraft Technologies for the SC4415.
