RS232 – USB ADAPTOR INSTALLATION SETUP
The RS232/USB adaptor can be used to directly connect the instrument to a
computer without the RS232 serial port, but with the USB port only. The adaptor can
be used with PCs under the operating systems Windows™XP and Windows™ 95/98.
Depending on the configuration of the computer, the adaptor could be automatically
identified or not. If the adaptor isn't properly identified you'll need to manually install
its driver, that you can find on the instrument's software CD.
You need to follow the driver installation below only at first connection of the adaptor.
Then, every time you connect the adaptor to your USB port, it will be automatically
identified and it will be ready to operate.
•
If you have previously installed a similar adaptor on your pc and the drivers
that are about to install are different from those already installed, please
uninstall the already installed drivers FIRST. Please refer to the Driver's
Uninstall procedure of your Operating System.

If you computer runs in Windows™XP or Windows™ XP SP1, temporally

appropriate connection and selecting "Disable" from the menu. The
connection can be re-enabled after the correct driver installation. This it's not
necessary if your computer runs Window™ XP SP2 if configured to ask

parameter already setted, and to verify this open the Control Panel, select
"System", select the Hardware tab and click "Windows Update". Please verify
that this option is DISABLED.

Connect the adaptor to a USB port of your computer. This will automatically
