2. Install the USB driver. (When COM mode is selected)
When connecting the instrument to the computer for the first time using the COM Class
method, you will need a dedicated USB driver. The following procedure need not be fol-
lowed if the driver has already been installed, for example in the course of using another
Hioki product. The USB driver can be found on the included application disc or down-
loaded from the Hioki website (http://www.hioki.com).
There is no need to install the driver when using the USB keyboard Class method.
Installation procedure
Install the driver before connecting the instrument and computer with a USB cable. If the
instrument has already been connected, disconnect the USB cable in order to perform
the installation.
• If the “Found New Hardware Wizard” screen is displayed, select “No, not this time” when
asked whether to connect to Windows Update and then choose “
Install the software auto-
matically.”
• If an instrument with a different serial no. is connected, the computer may recognize it as
a new device. Follow the instructions on the screen to install the device driver.
• A warning message will be displayed since the device driver has not undergone Windows
Logo testing. Choose “
Continue Anyway.”
Procedure to uninstall the driver (uninstall the driver once it is no longer needed)
Delete the Hioki USB CDC Driver using [Control Panel] - [Add or Remove Programs].
3. Connect the USB cable.

screen to complete the installation.

In some operating environments, it may take some time for the dialog box to
