USB Driver Installation

9.1 Overview

The USB interface provides a virtual COM port for the PC. Via this port, the unit can be
controlled as a normal RS232 interface, e. g. with a terminal program or user application
program. There are two drivers provided with the ADF units:
Virtual COM driver
Network Driver

9.2 Installation

USB drivers are stored in the ADF controller and installed when the unit is first connected to
a Windows PC. Proceed as follows:
1. With the ADF unit powered up, connect a USB cable between the ADF USB Device
port on the rear panel and an available USB port on a Windows PC.
2. Once plugged it, the PC should detect the present of the ADF. If this is the first time
you connect to this PC, the drivers must be installed. This process should run
automatically but if for some reason it does not, follow the subsequent steps.
3. On the drive popup shown below, select the "Open folder to view files" entry.
4. The directories shown below will be visible. Select the "drivers" directory
