Procedure for the installation of the software and hardware:
1. Install the USB serial driver (administrator privileges required).
2. If necessary, install the Sensor Studio configuration software
(administrator privileges required).
3. Plug in the USB interconnection cable with one end in a free USB
port on the computer and the other end in the Micro USB socket
on the CR50 module.
4. The scan engine acknowledges this connection with a beep.
5. The scan engine can now be configured via the
Sensor Studio con-
figuration software
. The values of the decoded codes can be dis-
played in the terminal on the Diagnostics tab.

Connection and commissioning of the CR50 starter kit (50126081)
The short instructions for installing the corresponding driver and the Sensor Studio configuration software can be found on the last page
of this document.
Switching off the computer
Information on switching off and shutting down the connected computer - which must always be performed before connecting peripheral
devices, such as a scanner - can be found in the appropriate operating instructions for your computer.
Connecting to a PC - Sensor Studio
The Sensor Studio configuration software provides a graphical user interface for the operation, configuration and diagnosis of many
products from the Leuze company. If necessary, the Sensor Studio configuration software can be installed from a USB memory stick
(CR50 graphical user interface).
NOTICE
Login with administrator privileges is required for installation.
Connecting the CR50 starter kit to the USB interface (COM port emulation)
Operation of the CR50 starter kit as serial interface on a USB port is described in this section. With this operating mode, a COM interface
is emulated. The read data are sent to a new COM interface. The driver with which this COM interface is emulated is included on the
USB memory stick, which is part of the starter kit.
