1.Device Driver Installation

①Plug the picochet to USB port of PC. Due to some reason not known yet,
there are some cases where communication between the picochet and PC does
not work well when there is a hub placed between the picochet and the root hub.
So place the unit directly to the root hub that’s placed in the main case of PC.
Consult the PC manual for the location of USB root hub in your PC.

Once the picochet is plugged into USB port, follow the steps below to install the
appropriate device driver.

②In a short while, screen message claiming ‘New device is detected’ will be
displayed as shown below. Click on "Next" button.

Cases where the picochet is not recognized by PC

Even if the picochet is properly connected to USB port of PC, the cases where

that USB port is not configured to be usable in PC configuration.
Follow the steps below to make USB port usable.

①Select Control Panel by selecting Settings from Start menu.
②Select System from Control Panel.

③As shown below, select Device Manager folder and click on "View by devices

type" which is just below folder names. And then, double-click on the item

called Universal Serial Bus Controllers. Below Universal Serial Bus Controllers,
USB Universal Host Controller and USB Root Hub will appear.

④Double-click on USB Universal Host Controller and another screen that is
shown below appears. Choose a general folder and there’ll be device usage at
the bottom. On the device usage, make certain that it’s left blank next to
‘Disable in this hardware profile’ and check the next to ‘Exists in all hardware
profiles’ as shown. And then select OK.

After PC is restarted, USB port becomes usable.
