2.4. USB-3000™ USB Driver Description
The USB-3000™ incorporates a USB to serial UART Integrated Circuit Device manufactured by Future
Technology Devices International Ltd. (FTDI) (P/N FT232R). DVSI has modified the generic FTDI drivers so
that the USB-3000™ uses a virtual COM port on the PC to provide access to the USB-3000™. The USB-
3000™ requires that two drivers be installed, the Virtual COM Port (VCP) driver and the USB Serial Port driver.
The application software provided with the USB-3000™ requires the installation of these two drivers.
The USB-3000™ -OEM version allows users to choose between FTDI’s generic Virtual COM Port (VCP) drivers
or direct (D2XX) drivers. To incorporate even more customization into an application, other off-the-shelf drivers
may be used.
The download and installation procedures for FTDI’s Generic VCP drivers and D2XX drivers are available on
FTDI’s website (http://www.ftdichip.com/FTDrivers.htm
).
2.5. USB Driver Installation
To begin using the USB-3000™, connect it to an available USB port on the computer and install the required
drivers. These drivers set up the USB-3000™ to communicate on the PC’s serial COM port. The USB-3000™
has drivers available for both Windows-32 bit and Windows-64 bit operating systems.
Each USB-3000™ has a unique serial ID number. This allows more than one USB-3000™ to be connected to a
PC at one time. However, the drivers must be installed the first time a new USB-3000™ is connected to the PC.
Once the driver is installed for a specific USB-3000™ Windows will automatically re-load the driver each time it
is re-connected.
The USB-3000™ requires that two drivers be installed. The first Windows driver that need to be installed is the
USB-3000™ Driver then Windows installs the USB COM port driver. Since the USB-3000™ requires two
drivers the user must go through the Windows driver installation Wizard twice. The following section will help
guide through the multiple screens that the Windows Installation Wizard uses to install the drivers. The
sequence and screens are similar for installing both the first and second driver.
