    Technology Devices Int’l (FTDI). In order to interface to a PC, you need to download and install their USB drivers. These drivers make the NLP-5x Demo/Emulation board appear as a Virtual COM Port. If you have used other Sensory boards in the past, you may already have drivers installed that will work with the NLP-5x Demo/Emulation board.
  • Page 6 When the NLP-5x Demo/Emulation board is connected to your computer, a COM port number is automatically assigned to the Virtual COM Port driver. The Sensory software tools must be configured to use this COM port number. The following screen shots show where to view and/or change the COM port in the Device Manager and the various Sensory tools.
  • Page 7 On the Port Settings tab, click on Advanced: The Advanced Settings window allows you to change the COM Port number. While not necessary, you can also change the latency setting to the minimum value (1) to improve upload performance. © 2010 Sensory Inc. P/N 80-0314-A...
