USB232 driver installation

Post by tgartlan »

Hi
I am trying the use the USB232 booard(EB039). I've downloadded the test routine and drivers etc. The test routine
refers to a 'Driver Installation' document. I can't find this anywhere and as such am not quite sure how to install the drivers correctly.

I'm sure there is a document somewhere, but I can't find it at the moment.

I believe the installation is relatively easy:

1) unzip the drivers download to a known location on your hard-drive (say C:\matrix_drivers).

2) plug in the USB232 E-Block

3) when the "add new hardware" wizard appears, select "advanced" and then click the "have disk..." button and navigate to the directory you have saved the files to.


Alternatively, put the unzipped files onto a CD and have the disk in your CD drive. Then when the "add new hardware" wizard asks for the files, just click "automatic" and the appropriate drivers should be found ok. These direcers should be present on the mini ELSAM disk that ships with the EB006 and some of our other products.
