USB generic (FTDI) driver (Win 98SE/2000/XP/Vista/7/8/10/11) Required for use with any of our USB card products (except the USB1208LS DAQ card). 32-Bit download 64-Bit download
This driver file is required before connecting any of our USB card products (except the USB1208LS DAQ). Extract the zip file prior to connecting the USB card. When the USB card is connected for the first time, you will need to direct the installer to load the appropriate driver from the extracted file directory that you have created. Please note: there are two drivers installed during the install procedure (the low level device drivers and the Virtual Com Port (VCP) drivers). You do not need to reboot your PC following installation of the USB drivers. Once installed, the USB card will appear as a new (virtual) com/serial port. You will need to use the Control Panel/ Hardware Device manager to determine the Com Port number that your PC has assigned to the connected USB card. Note: You only need to install the USB driver during first installation of the USB card.
Generic example program (.exe) For use with any of our USB or Serial port 4, 8 & 24 channel DIO & relay cards (see below for USB8VI4DIOR, USBDO96 & USB1208LS DAQ card examples) USB & Serial card generic output example program (executable) (0.5Mb)
This program is designed as a generic example program and can be used with any of of USB or serial port Relay & DIO cards (except the USB1208LS DAQ card). It can be used as a basic test program to check correct operation of the card on first installation. It should be extracted and the executable run from the unzipped directory. It does not require any other library files - it is designed to run as a simple, standalone executable. (In addition to the application (.exe file), this directory also contains the LabVIEW version 6.02 library files). Note: If using this program in conjunction with any of our USB cards, you must first install the USB generic (FTDI) driver driver as detailed above. Once installed, the USB card will appear as a new (virtual) com/serial port. The virtual com port number needs to be selected when you first run this example program. Labview note: If you don't already have it installed on your PC, you will need to download and install the following program: LabView Runtime 6.02 RTE (10.6 Mb) prior to running the above example application (.exe).This program is the National Instruments Run Time Engine (RTE) version 6.02 - it is required by the above executable (.exe). If you already have LV 6 or LV6 RTE installed on your PC, you don't need to do it again. Note: You only need to install the USB driver during first installation of the USB card.
