VIRTUAL PORT SOFTWARE INSTALLATION
1. Insert the supplied CD into the CD drive.
Different versions of Windows® have slightly different steps to load the driver that is on the CD.
In all versions the New Hardware Wizard guides you through the required steps to select the
driver that is located on the CD.

2. After clicking Finish, the virtual port should be ready for use.
Windows® typically adds the virtual port in sequence after the highest number COM port. For
example, on PC's equipped with up to 4 COM ports, the virtual port will be COM5.
When using the USB interface with programs that limit the number of COM port designations
(e.g. Ohaus MassTracker allows only COM1, 2, 3, & 4), it may be necessary to assign one of
these port numbers to the new virtual port. This can be done in the Port Settings of the Device
Manager utility, found in the Windows Control Panel.
