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, or download the driver
from www.vaisala.com.
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 Vaisala USB
Instrument Finder program that has been installed in the Windows
Start menu.
