Preparations for using the UA-1000

Installing the driver

What is a driver?

A

“driver”

is software that transfers data between the UA-1000 and application

software running on your computer, when your computer and the UA-1000 are
connected by a USB cable. The driver sends data from your application to the UA-
1000, and from the UA-1000 to your application.

1

With the UA-1000 disconnected, start up Windows.

Disconnect all USB cables except for a USB keyboard and USB mouse (if used).

If you are using virus checking or similar software, be sure to exit it as well.

System Properties
