DRIVER INSTALLATION
The user is provided with a CD containing the instrument driver.
In this section we will describe in detail the driver installation procedure.
It should be noted that the installation in Linux environments (with Kernel 3.0.0-19 or later) is automatic and does
not require the driver CD. The standard serial port of the PC with which the device is identified is the following:
/dev/ttyUSB0.
As for Windows operating systems, it is important to stress that the procedure consists of two distinct phases,
equally important for the final use of the instrument. In the first part the driver of the actual serial converter will be
installed. Through the second phase the virtual driver will be installed which will allow the use of the peripheral as
a standard serial port of the operating system.
If you are using Windows 7, these two phases are identical and are followed step by step, while for other versions
of Windows the second part is automatically managed by the operating system without further dialogue with the
user. Below is the installation procedure for Windows 7.
DRIVER INSTALLATION WITH WINDOWS 7:
Connect the instrument to the PC already switched on, so that the operating system can detect the presence of
the device automatically. As soon as the operating system detects the presence of the converter, the installation
will begin and the following messages will be displayed:
