2 Installing the Software and
the Adapter
This chapter covers the software setup for the PCAN-USB adapter
under Windows and the connection of the adapter to the computer.
Setup the driver before
connecting the PCAN-USB adapter to the
computer for the first time.
Do the following to install the driver:
1. Make sure that you are logged in as user with administrator
privileges (not needed for normal use of the PCAN-USB
adapter later on).
2. Insert the supplied DVD into the appropriate drive of the
computer. Usually a navigation program appears a few
moments later. If not, start the file Intro.exe from the root
directory of the DVD.
3. On the page English > Drivers activate the entry PCAN-USB.
4. Click on Install now. The setup program for the driver is
executed.
5. Follow the instructions of the program.
Tip: If you don't want to install the CAN monitor PCAN-View for
Windows onto the hard disk together with the driver, you have
the option to start the program later directly from DVD without
prior installation.
