Installing the hardware
To connect the USB-TEMP-AI to your system, turn your computer on, and connect the USB cable to a USB
port on your computer or to an external USB hub that is connected to your computer. The USB cable provides
power and communication to the USB-TEMP-AI.
When you connect the USB-TEMP-AI for the first time, a notification message opens as the USB-TEMP-AI is
detected. When the message closes, the installation is complete. The upper
LED (Activity) blinks when initially
connected and then stays on. The lower LED (USB) turns on to indicate that communication is established
between the device and computer.
If the USB LED turns off
If the LED is lit but then turns off, the computer has lost communication with the USB-TEMP-AI. To restore
communication, disconnect the USB cable from the computer, and then reconnect it. This should restore
communication, and the LED should turn back on.
