Step 1: Photon II Driver Installation Instructions
The Photon II communicates with the PC through a USB
connection. This requires Windows driver software to enable the
USB connection. The USB is a “plug and play” device which
means that after the driver is initially installed, the configuration
of the driver is automatically launched every time the device is
plugged into the USB port. To install the Photon II driver you
will need the Photon II hardware, a USB cable, and the
installation CD.
The driver installation process first locates the INF file named
Photon.inf on the CDROM. Using the information provided by
Photon.inf, the device driver file Photon.sys is copied into the
Windows\ System32 \drivers folder. The operating system
registers the Photon II device in its registry so the next time the
Photon II is plugged in it can be identified. Finally the
Photon.inf file is copied into the Windows\INF or its subfolder
for future use.
Follow the instructions below to install the Photon II driver
software.
1. Turn on the PC and launch Windows. Your PC must use a
Windows 2000 or XP operating system. If you are using
Windows 2000 you must be logged on with administrator
privileges to install a new driver.
2. Place the Install CD into the CD drive.
