8.6 Installing a RS232 to USB converter
Following is needed in order to communicate with the
thermometer. In Windows 10 the driver already is standard
available when using this operating system. After plugging in
for the first time, driver files automatically are installed in the
background and after approximately 2 minutes the converter
is available.
The thermometer uses a FTDI RS232 to USB converter chip.
In order to set up the communication this driver should be
installed for previous Windows systems. So if you have
Windows 8.1 or older this so called Virtual Com Port (VCI)
should be installed before plugging in the thermometer.
Drivers are available from www.ftdi.com. See home, drivers
and then VCP Drivers.
Previous Windows versions may not install automatically.
Select to install the driver yourself. Please see the screens on
the right.
Installation is in progress
Confirm that the software isn't digitally signed
Confirm installation
Sometimes it is necessary to perform the installation
twice, as there might be one or more USB hub controllers.
If Windows asks to install for a second time this second
installation must be performed. It will not harm your
system.
