USB Driver Installation
Background The USB driver is actually a virtual COM port
driver that simulates a serial port (UART)
connection.
Note: The USB driver should not need to be
manually installed if your operating system has

driver should be automatically installed when
connected to the PC.
If the driver is not automatically detected, or if
your operating system is not fully updated, it
may be necessary to install the USB driver, as
shown below.
Requirements Operating System: Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1
Note
The following installation instructions only apply if
the USB driver does not get automatically installed.
Steps 1. Connect the PCS-1000 to a PC using the USB
Type A-Type B cable (GTL-240).
2. The Windows Found New Hardware wizard

3. Select Locate and install driver software.
4. You will now be asked to insert a disk that
contains the USB driver.

automatically install the USB driver.
