2. FTDI Virtual COM port drivers http://www.ftdichip.com/FTDrivers.htm
3. USB 2.0 A to Mini-B 5-pin cable
To communicate using HyperTerminal, use the following procedure.
1. Make sure that the Series 3050 has a Mini-B five-pin connector on the back panel. (The Series 3050 must have an Analog
Output Option card installed and will be marked Series # 3050-1x.)
2. Be sure that the appropriate FTDI Virtual COM port drivers are installed on you computer.
3. Plug the USB 2.0 A end of the cable into an available USB port on your computer. Plug the Mini-B five-pin end into the
back of the Series 3050.
