USB Driver Installation
After the reconnection of the USB interface cable Win-
dows will be started to search the VCP driver because the
virtual COM port driver will be installed separately. Choose
„Browse my computer for driver software.
„Browse“ the appropriate folder where the driver was
unzipped and saved. Afterwards, press „Next“.

After successful installation of the HO720 / HO730 USB
VCP driver the instrument will be displayed as „Ports (COM
& LPT)“.
Double click on the new installed COM port will open the
„Properties“ window. Choose the tab „Port Settings“ to
select the RS-232 settings for the virtual COM port (inclu-
ding hardware / software handshake).
Further settings may be selected via „Advanced“ tab, e.g.
assignation of the virtual COM port from COM1 to COM
256.
