Otherwise, it is possible that the installed software does not work properly.

Installing the STG driver
The stimulus generator is a plug and play device. The driver is automatically installed together
with the STG-Lite program. The Microsoft Windows ® operating system detects a new hardware
when the stimulus generator is connected to the computer, if the program has not been installed
beforehand. Simply cancel the driver installation and proceed with the installation of the STG-Lite
program.
Important: Please make sure that you have full control over your computer as an administrator.
Otherwise, it is possible that the installed hardware does not work properly.
If there are any problems, and you need to install or update the driver manually, please see
the stimulus generator manual or the help for more information.
