Before taking USB cable 219690 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.

  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 latest driver from www.vaisala.com/software.
  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 detects the new device, and uses the driver automatically.
  5. The installation has reserved a COM port for the cable. Select Start > Vaisala > Vaisala USB Instrument Finder, and verify the port number, and the status of the cable. The reserved ports are also visible in the Ports of the Windows Device Manager.

Remember to use the correct port in the settings of your terminal program. Windows recognizes each individual cable as a different device, and reserves a new COM port.

There is no reason to uninstall the driver for normal use. However, if you wish to remove the driver files and all Vaisala USB cable devices, you can do so by uninstalling the entry for Vaisala USB Instrument Driver from the Programs and Features menu in the Windows Control Panel. In Windows XP and earlier Windows versions the menu is called Add or Remove Programs.
