INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE:
Very important: before you install the Windows
®
software you should install a driver to ensure the
USB communication!
Part1
– installing the USB driver
AUTOMATIC installation:
First connect the DFX-48 with your PC via USB and switch the DFX-48 on.
Windows will detect new hardware and ask you if it can search and install a driver via internet: accept
this option. Windows will try to install the driver automatically. After some time windows will inform you
if it could install the driver or not.
Proceed with the manual driver installation if the driver could not be found and installed.
MANUAL installation:
Don’t yet connect the DFX-48 to your PC!
The installation file for the driver can be found on the supplied CDROM or you can download it from
the SYNQ-website (see download section of the DFX-48 product page).
UNZIP the file and double-click the exe-
file named “PL-2303 Driver Installer.exe” and follow the
instructions to install the driver properly.
To check if the driver is installed, open the Windows
®
device manager and check if the driver is available, you
can also check which COM-port is emulated (in most
cases it will be COM3, as shown on the picture) To be
able to see the driver listed, you should connect the DFX-
48 to your PC and turn it on.
Remark:
depending on the hardware inside your DFX-48
the drivername shown in windows can be different!
