Installing the Software and Drivers
The first time a QS module is plugged into a computer, Windows displays
the Found New Hardware Wizard, which guides the installation of the
drivers. The drivers are included on the CD, so point the wizard to the CD
when prompted. The drivers have not gone through Microsoft’s verification
process, so a message may appear warning of this. Click “Continue
Anyway” to finish the installation process.
Application Note AN-00201 (Installing the SDM-USB-QS-S Drivers)
describes the installation of the drivers in detail. The drivers should be
installed before running the Development Software.
The HS Series Master Development System Software automatically starts
when the CD is inserted and the player in Figure 16 appears.
The View Documentation button shows a list of the application notes and
manuals related to the HS Series. Selecting one of these opens the file in
Adobe Acrobat. The Play Movie button plays a short video about Linx in the
Player Screen, which can be controlled with the Selection Keypad. Clicking
the button on the bottom right of the player opens the Linx Technologies
homepage in the computer’s default browser.
The View Documentation list also allows for the installation of Adobe
Acrobat Reader, so that the documents may be viewed, and Flash, which
may be required if the Linx video does not play correctly.
Clicking the Install Software button starts the Installation Wizard, which
guides the installation of the development software. The installer places the
software application, MS Series documentation, and USB drivers at the
installed location on the computer's hard drive.
