Before you start to use VinciLab with the computer via the USB cable we recommend to first
install the latest version of the Coach 7 or Coach 7 program on your computer. In most cases
the VinciLab installation is automatically executed the first time VinciLab is connected to the
USB port of the computer. After successful installation VinciLab is shown under Network
adapters (Windows)/Ethernet cards (MAC). If the driver is not successfully installed or there
are problems with communication between VinciLab and computer consult the VinciLab User’s
Manual.
