Installing the Driver for the USB Cable
Before taking the USB cable into use, you must install the provided
USB driver on your PC. When installing the driver, you must
acknowledge any security prompts that may appear. The driver is
compatible with Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server
2003, and Windows Vista.
1.
Check that the USB cable is not connected. Disconnect the cable
if you have already connected it.
2.
Insert the media that came with the cable.
3.
Execute the USB driver installation program (setup.exe), and
accept the installation defaults. The installation of the driver
may take several minutes.
4.
After the driver has been installed, connect the USB cable to a
USB port on your PC. Windows will detect the new device, and
use the driver automatically.
5.
The installation has reserved a COM port for the cable. Verify
the port number, and the status of the cable, using the
USB
Instrument Finder
program that has been installed in the
Windows Start menu.
Windows will recognize each individual cable as a different device,
and reserve a new COM port. Remember to use the correct port in the
settings of your terminal program. If you are using the MI70 Link
application, you do not need to check the COM port, as the MI70 Link
detects the USB connection automatically.
There is no reason to uninstall the driver for normal use. However, if
you wish to remove the driver files and all USB cable devices, you
can do so by uninstalling the entry for
USB Instrument Driver
from
the
Add or Remove Programs
(
Programs and Features
in
Windows Vista) in the Windows Control Panel.
