OPERATION
3. DSP7000 is a composite device (Versions of 7000 prior to AD0 will only offer a single USB
interface), meaning that it offers more than one USB interface to your PC. The first device is
a communications device class, also known as a virtual COM port. This interface allows the
USB to act as a legacy RS-232 device, and allows you to use programs such as Hyperterminal
to control the DSP7000. The second interface is a USB Test and Measurement device. Drivers
for this interface may already be installed on your computer. They are included as part of
the MTEST 7 software. LabVIEW installations also include a version of compatible drivers
to use with a test and measurement class interface. If you have either of these programs
installed on your computer, when you click on the aforementioned balloon, the following
window will appear.
4. Go to Control Panel and choose “System”, and then “Device Manager.” In the Other Devices
Options”, right click “DSP7000 Serial Port” and select “Update Driver Software”.
