Configuring the VCBA S2 Software for use with the DigiTMR S2 PC

The DigiTMR S2 PC is operated using the Vanguard Circuit Breaker Analyzer Series 2 (VCBA S2)
PC software. Follow the steps below to properly connect the DigiTMR S2 PC and configure the
VCBA S2 application to recognize the unit.

a. Install the VCBA S2 software (please see the VCBA S2 software user’s manual for details)

b. Connect the DigiTMR S2 PC to the PC by connecting a USB cable from an open USB port

on the PC to the unit’s “USB PC” port.

c. Turn on the power on the DigiTMR S2 PC.

d. If this is the first time you are connecting the unit to the PC, Windows will recognize it as

a new device and automatically install necessary drivers. If using Windows XP, you may
be prompted to install drivers. Select the automatic installation option and Windows will
locate the generic drivers necessary.

e. Please note that although the unit is connected via USB, it uses an internal serial

interface to communicate with the PC. As such, it will appear in the windows Device
Manager as a USB Serial Port. Open the Device Manager from the Windows Control
Panel and note the COM port number. For example, in the installation shown below, the
DigiTMR S2 PC is shown as COM10 (USB Serial Port).
