Installation

The software may be distributed on a CD or downloaded from Sensoray’s web
site. If the file is downloaded, it will need to be unzipped into a folder on the
local drive prior to connecting the 2253 to the USB port.
Setup is performed as follows.

1) Unpack the tgz file:

tar xjf sdk_2253_X.Y.Z_linux.tar.bz2,
where X.Y.Z is the version of the SDK.

2) Change the current directory to the one where the unpacked SDK is:

cd sdk_2253_X.Y.Z_linux

3) Build the driver and demo application:

make all

4) Install the modules and firmware:

sudo make install

5) Plug the 2253 into an available USB port. The module will be loaded

automatically and the device should be ready to use.

6) Optional: If the 2253 was previously plugged in, unplug it and return to

step 5, or load the module manually with:
modprobe s2253

Note: These steps only need to be performed once. After reboot, the module
should always be loaded automatically when the 2253 is present. If the kernel
version on your system changes, steps 3 and 4 may need to be performed
again to reinstall the modules.
