LSI user guide
Interfacing via USB
To perform certain maintenance tasks a USB cable may be used to connect the LSI to a Windows PC
(laptop, desktop, or tablet). The LSI accepts a micro USB type B plug.
On the PC, our SetView software (available from
) should be installed. Plugging in the USB
cable will introduce a new COM port (for example “COM5”). After starting up SetView make sure this
new COM port is selected by clicking on the top menu System → Serial Port.
If the COM port does not show up in SetView, you need to install the following driver on your PC:
Universal Windows Driver for USB Interfacing to the LSI
Click on the link above to download the driver zip file to your PC's Downloads folder. When complete,
double-click on the file to open it in Windows File Explorer. Click on the Extract All button to extract
(unzip) the contents into a new folder. From this folder, double-click on CP210xVCPInstaller_x86.exe if
you have 32-bit Windows, or CP210xVCPInstaller_x64.exe if you have 64-bit Windows. Follow the
instructions until the driver installation is complete.
With the correct COM port selected in SetView, and the LRU system powered (including the LSI), the
Dash panel should appear on SetView similar to that shown below.
A tab will appear (in the lower right side) for each VR LRU present on the CAN bus. You can click on
these tab(s) to select and view other LRU Dash instruments.
The example below shows the Dash panel for SGC1, with a optional TSLM tab to that LRU's Dash.
From here maintenance tasks may be performed as described in the next sections.
