USB Driver Installation

The Actisense USG-1 makes use of a virtual serial port

driver (know as the Virtual COM Port Driver) to interface

between the USB port on the PC and the Actisense

product. This driver allows software running on a PC

to communicate with the Actisense USG-1 as if it was

connected to a standard serial port on the PC, when in fact

all communication is done over the USB connection.

The required driver installation comes in two separate

packages. The rst driver is a called the ‘Serial Converter’

which converts the USB data packets to a serial data

stream. The second driver, called the ‘Actisense USB

Serial Port’, makes the USB connection appear as a COM

port in the Windows Device Manager.

The USG-1 with USB connection has been extensively

tested with both Windows XP and Windows 98 SE.

For the experienced Windows XP user who is used to

installing drivers, this section will be very familiar. To all

other Windows users, the required steps are detailed

below to help with installation.

The steps for Windows 98 SE are very similar to those of

Windows XP and so are not detailed here.

The Actisense CD also contains the USB drivers for

Windows 2000. These drivers have not been tested by

Actisense, but should operate in the same manner as the

Windows 98 SE and XP drivers.

The required Linux drivers are already included in the Linux

kernels from v2.4.20 and onwards. However, Actisense

has not been able to test the compatibility of the USG-1

with USB and this driver.

For MAC OS 8, 9, and X please contact Actisense for

details (refer to the Company Information section).

Step by step guide

1. Make sure the Actisense USG-1 is connected to an

available USB port on the PC. The standard Windows

‘Found New Hardware Wizard’ window will then appear.

Select the ‘No, not this time’ option, to allow driver

installation from the Actisense CD which was supplied

with your Actisense product.

2. Insert the Actisense CD, choose the ‘Install from a list

or specic location’ option, and click ‘Next’.
