Installing Device Driver (When Using
a Windows Computer)
A device driver is software that the computer needs in
order to recognize a PMW-EX1/EX3 connected to it via a
USB cable as a USB connected device.
You can install the driver during the upgrade process (see
page 5).
To uninstall
The device driver is only required when performing an
upgrade. We recommend uninstalling this software when
you will not be performing an upgrade.
