1. Introducing
This document describes the process of installing the Armatix iS1 device for the
Microsoft Windows XP operating system.
Armatix iS1 User Manual 6/19 2011-07-01
2. Installing drivers
To install the Armatix iS1 device under Windows XP, follow the instructions
below:
• Use the iS1 driver CD or download the latest drivers from the Armatix web site
and unzip them to a location on your PC.
• If you are running Windows XP or Windows XP SP 1, temporarily disconnect
your PC from the Internet. This can be done by either removing the network
cable from your PC or by disabling your network card by going to the "Control
Panel\Network and Dial-Up Connections", right-clicking on the appropriate
connection and selecting "Disable" from the menu. The connection can be reenabled after the installation is complete. This is not necessary under
Windows XP SP 2 if configured to ask before connecting to Windows Update.
Windows XP SP 2 can have the settings for Windows Update changed
through "Control Panel\System" then select the "Hardware" tab and click
"Windows Update".
• Connect the device to a spare USB port on your PC. Once the composite
driver has been installed Windows Found New Hardware Wizard will launch. If
there is no available Internet connection or Windows XP SP 2 is configured to
ask before connecting to Windows Update, the screen shown in Figure 2.1 is
displayed. Select "No, not this time" from the options available and then click
"Next" to proceed with the installation. If there is an available internet
connection, Windows XP will silently connect to the Windows Update website
and install any suitable driver it finds for the device in preference to the driver
manually selected.
Figure 2. 1

drivers are about to be installed, the message dialogue shown in Figure 2.4
will be displayed unless installing a Microsoft WHQL certified driver. Click on
"Continue Anyway" to continue with the installation. If Windows XP is
configured to ignore file signature warnings, no message will appear.
Figure 2. 4
• The screen shown in Figure 2.5 will be displayed as Windows XP copies the
required driver files.
Figure 2. 5

3. Uninstalling drivers
Devices can be removed using the Device Manager by simply right-clicking
on the device and selecting "Uninstall". This will delete the associated registry
entries for that device only.
Under Windows XP, driver files and OEM INF and PNF files must be removed
manually or by using a custom application. OEM INF and PNF files are located in
the Windows\Inf directory and can be identified by searching for a VID and PID
string matching the device installed e.g. VID_0403&PID_6001. Once the
matching OEM INF files are found (e.g. oem10.inf for FTDIBUS.INF and
oem11.inf for FTDIPORT.INF), the corresponding PNF files must also be
removed (e.g. oem10.pnf and oem11.pnf). Driver files are located in the
Windows\System32 and Windows\System32\Drivers directories.

4. Troubleshooting
4.1. Windows XP Forces A Reboot After Installing a Device
This problem can occur if an application is accessing a file while the New
Hardware Wizard is trying to copy it. This usually occurs with the FTD2XX.DLL
file. Selecting not to restart the computer then unplugging and re-plugging the
device may allow the device to function properly without restarting. Restarting the
machine will allow the device to work correctly.
4.2. Driver Installation Fails And Windows XP Gives Error
Code 10
Windows error code 10 indicates a hardware error or failed driver installation. This
error may appear if a device has insufficient power to operate correctly (e.g.
plugged into a bus powered hub with other devices), or may indicate a more
serious hardware problem. Also, it may be indicative of USB root hub drivers
being incorrectly installed.
4.3. Windows XP Displays An Error And Then Terminates
Installation
If the following screen is displayed with this message, Windows XP has been
configured to block the installation of any drivers that are not WHQL certified.
Figure 4. 1
Armatix iS1 User Manual 15/19 2011-07-01
Two options are available to successfully install the device. Either a certified
version of the driver can be installed (if available) or the driver signing options can
be changed to either warn or ignore to allow the installation to complete.
To change the current driver signing setting, go to "Control Panel\System", click
on the "Hardware" tab and then click "Driver Signing". The desired signing option
may then be selected.
