Connection to the PC
Connect the Wavefront Sensor to a USB 2.0 high speed port of your
computer. Use only the cable that comes with the Wavefront Sensor or a
cable qualified for high speed USB2.0 standard.

Attention
G
The Wavefront Sensor will not work on a full speed USB1.1 port!
Be sure to connect it to a high speed USB2.0 port.
Do not use cables which are not explicitly suited for
high speed USB data transfer, this can cause
transmission errors and improper instrument operation!
After connection of the instrument Microsoft Windows® will load the appropriate
drivers for the Wavefront Sensor. In fact, since the Wavefront Sensor consists of
a modified Thorlabs DCU camera, the driver software is basically the same for
both instruments.

Attention

Don't worry about that a 'Thorlabs DCU camera' is displayed in the
device manager. This is because the Thorlabs Wavefront Sensor
consists basically of a Thorlabs DCU camera which is also available
separately from Thorlabs.
Since both instruments, the DCU camera and the Wavefront Sensor
use the same driver software, they are not distinguishable in the device
manager, both instruments are displayed as 'Thorlabs DCU camera'.
A differentiation takes place only inside the Wavefront Sensor
application program wfs.exe that accepts only WFS150 and
WFS150C devices for operation.
Depending on your Microsoft Windows® settings the 'Found new Hardware
Wizard' appears optionally. It will lead you through this process.
Note: You may be prompted to confirm the driver installation.
Note: The 'Found New Hardware Wizard' will appear twice, first to assign the
installed boot driver and second to assign the real driver for the camera
hardware.
