CONFIGURING THE i-STAT 1 DRC FOR SERIAL OPERATION
To install the USB drivers for the DRC, it is necessary to be logged into a Windows PC with Administrator
rights.
Note: If internet access is not available, obtain the i-STAT 1 D/R USB Driver CD-ROM (Abbott L/N
04P75-05) from Abbott Customer Service. After receipt of the CD-ROM, proceed to Option 2, Step 3.
Option 1: Installation Using Windows Hardware Wizard (Internet Required)
This method requires a PC connected to the Internet and to have user permission to receive and install
Windows Updates.
1. Apply power to the DRC. Connect the USB cable from the DRC to the PC. A "Found New
Hardware Wizard" box will appear.
2. Allow Windows to connect to Windows Update to search for software by selecting the "Yes, this
time only" radio button and clicking Next.
3. Select the "Install the software automatically (Recommended)" radio button and click Next.
4. Wait while the "USB Serial Converter" driver (FT23R USB UART) installs. This may take a few
minutes.
