1.13 Virtual Port Software Installation
1. Insert the supplied CD into the
computer’s CD drive.
Different versions of Windows
®
have
slightly different steps to load the driver
that is on the CD. In all versions the
New Hardware Wizard guides you
through the required steps to select the
driver that is located on the CD.
2. After clicking Finish, the virtual port
should be ready for use.
Windows
®
typically adds the virtual port
in sequence after the highest number
COM port. For example, on PC’s
equipped with up to 4 COM ports, the
virtual port will be COM5.
When using the USB interface with
programs that limit the number of COM
port designations (e.g. Ohaus
MassTracker allows only COM1, 2, 3, &
4), it may be necessary to assign one of
these port numbers to the new virtual
port.
This can be done in the Port Settings of the Device Manager utility, found in the Windows
Control Panel.
