available for all major operating system platforms.

. The SQM-LU uses the FTDI
FT232R chip.
Once the driver is installed, commands can be sent to the SQM-LU using a serial terminal emulator to
the serial communications port that the device routes to.
When connecting the SQM-LU to a PC where the FTDI device driver is loaded, the serial port label
will be determined at connection time.
Each SQM-LU has a unique serial number usually with a prefix of “FT........”. This serial number can
be used to identify the exact SQM-LU device from other USB devices.
Interface Program overview:
–
Data commands are sent to the SQM-LU, and it responds with a string of characters.
–
A connection must be made to the serial port assigned to the SQM-LU.
