4.2.2 USB to Serial Port Driver Installation
A USB to serial port driver is required to communicate between the PC and the BS-8100.
Suitable drivers are available on the Brigade Electronics website (www.brigade-
electronics.com/product-support) and on the included USB drive under the “Driver” folder. A
driver should be installed before any cable connection is made to a PC.
For Windows 7, 8 and 10: Connect the display via USB to the PC. Windows should identify
the device and automatically install a driver. This process can take up to one minute. If there
are any problems with the driver installation, acquire the
“PL2303_Prolific_DriverInstaller_v1.9.0.exe” executable from either the Brigade Electronics
website or the optional included USB drive and run it.
