Syringe Pump Module Installation Guide 

Chapter 2: Installing the Syringe Module

Connecting the Syringe Module Directly to the Host PC 

The syringe pump module may be controlled by a direct connection to a host 
PC. The syringe pump module supports the following communications 
protocols:  

 

The USB interface is the standard configuration. A virtual COM port is 
created so that the connection looks like a standard RS-232 serial port to 
the host PC software. 

 

The serial (RS-232) interface is simple and reliable, but the host computer 
may lack a free serial port.  

 

The RS-485 serial interface is provided for compatibility with certain 
instruments. 

Use either a serial cable or a USB cable (not both). 

Connecting a USB Cable 

You will need an “A-B” USB cable. 

  

F

IGURE

    USB Cable 

1

  Power on both the computer and the syringe pump module  

2

  Plug one end of the cable into the host computer's USB port. 

3

  Plug the other end into the syringe pump module’s USB port. 

The computer screen should display a "New Hardware Found" window. A USB 
driver must be installed to make the USB port emulate an RS-232 COM port, 
and the installation must be repeated for each USB connection.  

4

  Allow the Windows Found New Hardware Wizard to use Windows Update to 

search for a driver for the USB port.  

In most cases, the driver will be found online and installed automatically. This 
process may take several minutes. 

If the driver is not installed automatically, insert the CD-ROM and allow the 
wizard to search the CD-ROM and install the driver (the exact procedure 
depends on the version of the Windows operating system). For Microsoft 
Windows 7, you may need to navigate to the “FTDI Driver” folder on the CD-

ROM to find the driver file named “ftdiport.inf”. The hardware will be identified 
as an “FT 232R USB UART” and then as a “USB Serial Converter.”
