Observe the following steps to install the USB SmartCable on a Windows 7 system.
1. Connect the USB SmartCable to a USB port on your development PC. When the PC
detects the new hardware, it will display the Installing device driver software dialog.

find the driver, close the search dialog and proceed to the next step.

Manager . The Device Manager will appear in a list of search results.
4. From this list of results, click Device Manager to open the Device Manager dialog,
which presents a list of devices that operate on your PC. Find and toggle Other
devices to view a sublist of additional devices, and right-click your mouse on USB
SmartCable .

Browse my computer for driver software option.
