USB Data Output – Instructions for Use
STEP 1: Install a Virtual COM Port (VCP) Driver on your computer.
Free VCP drivers can be downloaded for Windows, Linux, and MAC
from FTDI Ltd on their website:

We recommend downloading the setup executable, which
automatically runs and configures the drivers for you.
STEP 2: Connect the USB cable (included) to the male connector on the
bottom of your instrument. Connect the other end to a USB port on
your computer.
STEP 3: Turn the Instrument ON.
STEP 4: Verify that the Instrument has been set up as a USB Serial Port with
a unique COM port number. (You only need to do this once)
For Windows users, open the Windows Device Manager (found in
Control Panel) and verify that a USB serial port exists as shown
