the power is first applied.
After a short duration all the indicators except for Ready will turn off. The AI-5620 then
waits for the PC to recognize its connection via USB. While waiting, the Ready indicator
flickers once every second.
A number of internal checks are performed during the power up cycle. If a fault is
detected, the Ready indicator will either flash, or remain off. For information on the fault
condition and corrective action, see Appendix B: Error Codes on page 26.
1.5 USB Driver Installation
The proper drivers must be installed before a USB connection can be established between
the AI-5620 and the PC. The WHQL USB driver files are automatically installed with
the TRsSim application and no further steps should be required.
If the end use does not require the TRsSim application then it is also possible to install
the driver manually.
