Intended Use
This USB interface device cable is a solution that enables
connection of a balance or scale to a computer via the
USB (universal serial bus) port. The USB interface is implemented as a virtual serial interface (virtual COM port).
For the application program running on the computer,
there is no difference between a serial interface physically
installed in the PC and one enabled in the form of a
virtual interface. The interface offers the same capabilities
in either case.

Initial Connection
Loading the Software Drivers
Download the VCP driver online: http://www.ftdichip.
com/FTDrivers.htm
Once you have downloaded the software, set up the
virtual port on the computer.
Installation Guides
The installation guides for the drivers can be found here:
Installing the Software Drivers for the USB Interface
1. Start the installation process for the downloaded program.
2. Each version of Windows
®
may have slightly different
procedures for loading the drivers; however all versions
have a wizard.
Windows
®
usually adds the virtual interface in the
position following your highest-numbered COM port.
Insert paragraph spacing as per source. For example,
on a PC with 4 COM ports, the virtual interface is added
as COM5 (shown in the Device Manager).

Notes on Installation
Changing the Port Number
If you use the USB interface with a program that limits
the number of COM port designations (e.g., only COM1
through COM4), you may have to assign one of these port
numbers to the new virtual interface.
– Set up is as follows in Windows:
Select “Start”
– Select “System”
– Select “Hardware” Insert arrow “Device Manager”
– Expand “Ports
– Double-click on “USB Serial Port
– Select “Port Settings” Insert arrow “Advanced”
Changing the Latency Timer
In the dialog opened above for changing the port number,
you can set the latency timer to 1 msec for faster data
communication.
“Settings” “Control Panel”
7
Plug & Play Mode with Autoprint (SBI)
To use the autoprint function, you need to deactivate
the plug & play mode. This setting is configured in the
same dialog as that described above for changing the port
number.
Using Different USB Ports on a Single PC
Driver installation must be performed each time the cable
is connected to a different USB port. It is a good idea to
use the same port every time, if possible.
Deinstalling the Driver
– Select “Start"
“Settings" “Control Panel"
– Select “Software"
– Select “FTD1USB Serial Converter Driver"
– Click on “Add/Remove"
> The software is deinstalled.
