6-4. Simple USB (Virtual COM Port)
With a built-in USB - serial converter (FT232BM made by FTDI
England), the GP-600B may utilize existing RS232C communication
software using the USB port of the PC as a virtual COM port. It is
necessary to install the device driver in the PC for using the RS232C
communication software.
Download the virtual port driver for the FT232BM (VPC Driver)
from the FTDI homepage (http://www.ftdichip.com/) according to
the PC in use, store it in an appropriate folder, and unfreeze it.
When the GP-600B is connected with the PC, the PC detects it as
a new device and the driver install wizard activates. Specify the
frozen folder. For details, refer to the FTDI homepage. The
installation procedures may be downloaded.
