Installing USB Drivers

Using the supplied Vaisala Veriteq USB cable driver CD
and Quick Start guide, install USB drivers on every PC
you plan to attach devices to.
Connecting Hardware
1
Connect the device to a Vaisala Veriteq USB cable.
2
Connect the USB cable to your viewLinc Server or
Device Host (ensure the viewLinc Server computer is
attached to your network).
3
Install a USB cable driver. You only need to install a
driver once on each machine to which devices are
connected.
Method 4: Using Serial Port
You can also connect devices to PCs using a Serial Port. The
configuration using a Serial port is very similar to using USB;
refer to Figure 3.
Connecting Hardware
1
Connect your device to a Vaisala Veriteq Serial port
cable.
2
Connect the Serial port cable to your viewLinc Server or
Host (ensure this computer is attached to your network).
Repeat these steps for all devices.
Installing vLog Software
Once your devices are installed, you are ready to install vLog
software.
Note:
If you use 300 SeriesTransmitters, you are not
required to install vLog Software.
Installing vLog allows you to:
• set sample intervals
• enable or disable channels
• specify device and channel descriptions
• store historical data for backup purposes
It is recommended you install vLog on all PCs with Vaisala
Veriteq devices connected to them.
