USB Driver Installation

In order for your computer and LabVIEW® to recognize the Model 3000 Digital 
Capacitance Meter, USB drivers must be installed on your computer. The USB drivers and 
installation procedure are available on the Model 3000 application CD or can be downloaded 
from our website: 

www.glkinst.com/cmetersoftware/USBDriverRev100103.zip

Pre-installation:

Unzip the driver file "USBDriverRev100103.zip" to a local directory. By default all 
driver and documentation files will unzip to the directory "… \FTC Drivers\". A list of the 
files in the directory is shown below.

Installation:

The USB port on the Model 3000 uses the DLP-2232M module and FDTI FT2232C 
chip. The most recent drivers and other useful information can be found on their websites: 

www.dlpdesign.com/usb/2232m.html
www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/FT2232CDrivers.htm

For trouble free installation, it is highly recommended that you follow the procedure for 
installing the USB drivers, described section 3 "Installing FT2232C Devices", in the FTDI 
document: "Windows_XP_Installation_Guide.pdf". This document is included in the 
"USBDriverRev100103.zip" file or can be downloaded from the link given below:

www.ftdichip.com/Documents/InstallGuides/Windows_XP_Installation_Guide.pdf

Note: Under Windows XP, the "Found New Hardware Wizard" should be used to install 
devices when they are connected to the PC for the first time, as this is the recommended 
procedure for reliable device operation. The FTDI USB driver installation installs both the 
D2XX (dll) driver and VCP (virtual communication port) driver for both A and B ports. The 
"Found New Hardware Wizard" will run four times to complete the installation.
