Driver Installation

Drivers are available for Windows 7 32/64 bits and Windows 8 32/64 bits.
To install the PROFISHARK drivers, execute the setup utility located on the
USB flash drive in the "PT3 Manager" folder. Please make sure that you have
uninstalled any older version of PT3 Manager before starting the setup utility.
Connect the PROFISHARK on a free USB 3.0 port and the drivers should
install automatically. For a manual installation, the drivers can be found in the
default installation folder "C:\Program Files (x86)\Profitap\PT3 Mana-
ger\Driver\PT3". A reboot of the computer may be required in order to refresh
the Winpcap/Wireshark device list.
Please check for the latest driver release for your operating system in the
User Section at www.profitap.com. You will need to register to access this
area. Registering is free and will let you participate in ongoing product impro-
vements.
