USB Interface Connection
Users can remotely control the power supply via PC over the USB interface. Upon installation of the USB driver, the
PC can control the instrument over virtual COM.
Connecting Instrument to PC
1. Download the USB drivers from www.bkprecision.com .
2. Connect the included USB cable to the power supply and the USB port on the PC.
3. When Windows recognizes the USB connection, do not follow the default Windows driver installation wizard.
Simply run the setup file from the downloaded USB drivers and follow the prompt to install drivers.
4. The computer will recognize the instrument as a USB (virtual COM) device, meaning it will be detected as a serial
COM port. Windows will automatically assign a COM port to the instrument. Please verify which COM port
Windows has assigned by going into Device Manager.
