Configuring the VCBA S2 Software for use with the DigiTMR S2
The DigiTMR S2 can be used with a PC (computer control mode) using the Vanguard Circuit
Breaker Analyzer Series 2 (VCBA S2) software. From the PC, the user can time circuit breakers,
retrieve test records, and create and transfer test plans to the DigiTMR S2. Follow the steps
below to properly connect the DigiTMR S2 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 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.
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 is shown as COM10 (USB Serial Port).
