“Next”. For the FT232 USB UART installation, select “Search for a suitable driver for my device”, and click “Next”.
Check the box next to “Specify a location” and uncheck all others. Click “Next”. Click “Browse”. Select the
applicable CD drive and click “Open”. Locate the “USB_Driver” folder and click “Open”. Click “OK”. Click
“Next”. After successful installation, click “Finish”. The installation of the USB Serial Port is then asked by
Windows. Repeat same procedure as the above FT232 USB UART installation. After successful installation, click
“Finish”.

Memo

While all commands to the SCX10 can be made using general terminal software, the supplied GUI,
Immediate Motion Creator for CM/SCX Series (IMC), is recommended for its ease of use.

To install, insert the supplied CD into your CD drive. Open the Explorer, select the applicable CD drive,
open the IMC folder, double click on "setup.exe" and follow the on screen instructions.
*For Windows 2000 and Windows XP users, the .NET Framework 2.0 software needs to be installed
prior to the IMC installation. The .NET Framework 2.0 is on the supplied CD, under the
DotNet_Framework2_0 folder.
*See "7.7 Immediate Motion Creator for CM/SCX Series (GUI Software)" in the Operating Manual for
further information.
