The Lambda 10-3 can communicate with the computer via the Universal Serial Bus (USB)
port instead of the SERIAL (RS-232) port whenever it is connected to the remote computer
with a USB cable and the appropriate USB device drivers are installed. The remote computer
must be equipped with the necessary USB hardware and its operating system must be
properly configured to recognize and work with the USB interface. Of all the USB ports
available on the remote computer, be they part of the computer itself or part of a USB hub,
one port must be available for use with the Lambda 10-3.
The Lambda 10-3 microprocessor sets the SERIAL port, by default, as the input source upon
startup and any time the ON LINE key is pressed. An appropriate command from the remote
computer through the SERIAL port will automatically set that port as the active input source
and the display on the controller will reflect that change on its bottom line. The SERIAL port
remains active until an appropriate command is sent from a remote computer through the
USB port or until the LOCAL key is pressed on the controller keypad.
Note that there are some basic differences in the physical connections and the modes by
which USB and serial data are transmitted to the controller. The command code structures,
however, are quite similar. The connection and command structure required to control the
Lambda 10-3 via the USB port are discussed in this chapter.
Two versions of the USB device driver for Windows offering different compatibility and
functionality
1. Ver. 1.06.02 is for use with Windows 98, 98 SE, ME, and 2000 and 32-bit edition only of
Windows Server 2003, Server 2008, XP, Vista, and 7. This version supports only the
direct D2XX mode of operation (VCP (Virtual COM Port) mode is not supported). The
next section describes the installation process for this version of the device driver.
2. Ver. 2.06.00 is for use with Windows 2000 and 32-bit and 64-bit editions of Windows
Server 2003, Server 2008, XP, Vista, and 7. This version is a Combined Driver Model
(CDM) that can be installed for either direct D2XX or VCP (Virtual COM Port) modes of
operation. Following the section on installing the standard device driver (next), is the
section that describes downloading and installing the CDM device driver.

Windows 95 and USB: With the exception of the last releases of Windows 95 prior to the release of Windows 98, Windows 95 does NOT
support USB hardware. Those releases of Windows 95 that do support USB will generally have “With USB Support” as part of the operating
system’s title. However, the Lambda 10 series of controllers with USB interfaces have not been tested on such systems.
