Corvus-eco is equipped with an internal USB to RS-232 inter-
face that uses the well established controller chip FT232AM
(FT232BL) from FDI.
To operate with this interface a virtual Com Port must be in-
sta
lled.
Virtual COM port (VCP) drivers cause the USB device to ap-
pea
r as an additional COM port available to the PC. Applica-
tion software can access the USB device in the same way as
it would access a standard COM port.
VCP drivers are available which allow the FT232BL device to
work with the
following operating systems:
• Windows XP x64
• Windows Server 2003 x64
• Windows XP
• Windows Server 2003
• Windows 2000
• Windows ME
• Windows 98
• Linux
• Mac OS X
• Mac OS 9
• Mac OS 8
• Windows CE.NET (Version 4.2 and greater)
