in these applications.
Before you can communicate with the monitor through your
computer using the ADS USB Serial Interface cable or a standard
USB cable, you must install a special driver on your computer. The
instructions for installing the driver are printed on the label on the
bottom of the cable’s interface box or on the top, left side of the
ExPAC. When selecting the driver from the website, ADS
recommends clicking on the setup executable link in the
Comments column corresponding to your operating system to
initiate the installation process. Then, simply follow the installation
steps as instructed.
Once the driver is installed, connect from a laptop (or office)
computer to the monitor in one of the following ways, based on the
application.
Connecting Directly to the Monitor
1. Attach the two cables comprising the USB Serial Interface
cable together by inserting the Type B connector from the
standard USB A-to-B cable into the corresponding port on the
interface box of the primary cable.
2. Insert the Type A connector from the USB Serial Interface
cable into the proper USB port on the computer.
3. Attach the metal cable connector from the USB Serial Interface
cable to the corresponding COMM + EXT PWR port on the
top of the monitor.
