8.2.2. Installing the Brainboxes USB to Serial drivers
To install the Brainboxes USB to Serial drivers run the Brainboxes Setup.exe, without plugging in
the device. Accept all default options during installation.
The Grad 13 should then be plugged in (including the USB lead to Battery box). Plug the Grad-
13 into the Battery box and turn it on. The PC will then look for the correct device drivers for the
Grad 13. Allow the Brainboxes drivers to be installed for the plugged in device.

Note: Uninstall any existing versions of D660, Grad-13 or the Visual Grad-13 software via
the control panel before installing this software.
Run the Grad13Install.exe, andfollow the instructions. Once this has been completed it will
create three shortcuts on your desktop:
VisualGrad13 - Main Grad 13 Master Interface application.
DataPro - Data processor for data generated from the Grad13 Master application.
Grad13Logs - Shortcut to the Grad13 log file directory.
Note: The Visual Grad 13 Interface and Grad13 Data Processor application interfaces with
Microsoft's Excel; if Excel is not installed on the PC then an error may appear when trying
to send data to Excel from Visual Grad 13 Interface and the Data Processor application. The
software can still be used without Excel installed.
8.2.4. Using the software
Open the Visual Grad-13 application (using the VisualGrad13 shortcut from the desktop), this will
display the Visual Grad-13 application as shown in Figure 7:
