1.6 Installation
The S-Link is not required for the PC S-Link software installation; however, it is fine if it is connected.
Ensure that the S-Link is connected to the USB port when you are ready to run the PC S-Link software.
Connect the S-Link USB port, located on the top panel of the instrument (see Figure 1-2), to the host
device serial connector using the proper cable. The S-Link comes with a standard USB cable.
You must install the USB drivers.
1.6.1
To Install USB drivers for Windows™:
Plug the S-Link into a USB port on the PC. If the PC supports USB 1.1, Windows detects the new device
and prompts you for the software drivers. A window that says Found New Hardware
– USB Device
opens and after several seconds to a minute the Found New Hardware Wizard appears.
Insert the USB driver’s CD-ROM if you have not already done so.
Cancel the wizard and execute the Auto installer, “USB driver installer-R2” which can be found in the USB
Driver folder on the CD-ROM.
At the end of this process, a new serial COM port is added to the list of communication ports. It may be
used as any other serial port. You will need to know the COM port number to set up the serial connection
to the S-Link.
