this driver in our Notes Peripherals Database or on the enclosed CD. If necessary, you can download it from
the Internet under the address USB Serial Driver

install the driver by launching the *.EXE file. For example for Windows, CP210xVCPInstaller_x86.exe.
Follow the wizard's instructions until the driver is fully installed.
