4.4 How to find out the used version of the driver?

Two device drivers are needed to use the adapter. Firstly the "USB-Composite Device" (for the USB-
device) and the "USB to UART Bridge Controller" (for the supply of the COM-port).
Make sure that the adapter is connected and start the Device-Manager ( Win XP: click start \ (settings) \
control panel \ performance and maintenance \ system \ hardware).
For the USB-device driver open the submenu "USB-controller" at the Device-Manager, open the features
for this connection "CP210X USB Composite Device" by a double-click and change then to "driver".
For the COM-driver open the submenu "Ports (COM &
LPT)", open the features for this connection "CP210X
USB to UART Bridge Controller (COM x)" by double-
click and change then to "driver". There you can see the
currently used driver version.

4.5 How to update a driver of an older version or how to uninstall the driver?

In order to update the driver, you have to uninstall the "old" driver first and install the latest driver after-
wards.
1) Uninstallation of the driver
- Make sure that the USB-adapter is not connected.
- Go to start \ (settings) \ control panel and then double-click "software".
- Search for the entry "CP210X USB to UART Bridge Controller" and click then "change / remove".
- Click "yes" at the pop-up window.
- The driver will now be uninstalled.
Thus the driver is uninstalled for all corresponding USB-adapters.
2) Reinstallation of the driver:
The reinstallation is just the same as an installation the first time. Please refer to "5. Software Installation"
for installing the new driver.
