USB Connection

MMT310 can be connected to a computer by using a USB cable (order

code 238607). The USB cable is an optional accessory: for more

information on ordering optional items, see section Spare Parts and

Accessories on page 69.

NOTE

Before starting to use the USB cable, you must install the USB cable

driver (requires Windows).

Installing the Driver for the USB Cable

Complete the following steps to install the USB driver before taking the

USB cable into use:

1.

Check that the USB cable is not connected. Disconnect the cable if

you have already connected it.

2.

Insert the media that came with the cable, or download the driver

from

www.vaisala.com

.

3.

Execute the USB driver installation program (setup.exe), and

accept the installation defaults. The installation of the driver may

take several minutes.

4.

After the driver has been installed, connect the USB cable to a USB

port on your computer. Windows will detect the new device, and

use the driver automatically.

5.

The installation has reserved a COM port for the cable. Verify the

port number, and the status of the cable, using the Vaisala USB

Device Finder program that has been installed in the Windows Start

menu.

Windows will recognize each individual cable as a different device, and

reserve a new COM port. Remember to use the correct port in the

settings of your terminal program.
