B.2.3 USB driver
Depending on your Windows version, it may or it may not be required to install a USB serial driver
for the DTM-3301. On Windows 7 the driver is usually part of the Windows installation.
Connect the DTM-3301 to a USB port on the PC with the USB cable included in the development kit.
For this step, it is not strictly necessary to power the DTM-3200 board, because the DTM-3301 is bus
powered. After a while the USB connection to the interface board will become visible on the PC as a
COM port in the Device Manager, section Ports (COM&LPT). The COM port number is displayed
behind the USB Serial port entry, see the screen shot below.
If no USB COM port appears in the Device-Manager window, you can download and install the
FTDI USB driver from
http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm
. After this step, you may also have
to unplug and reconnect the USB cable.
In this case the COM port number is COM4.
B.2.4 Debugger
Dtm3200Util
is a GUI tool to view status, control settings and upload firmware to the DTM-3200.
The
Dtm3200Util
debugger tool can be found on the DekTec USB flash drive. It can also be
downloaded from the DekTec website.
Dtm3200Util
is an executable that can be run from any
directory on your PC.
When started, the debugger enumerates serial ports and lets the user select the serial port to which
the DTM-3200 is connected. When a valid serial port is selected, all registers are read from the
DTM-3200 and shown in the GUI. Blue fields can be edited and written to the DTM-3200 by clicking
the pen symbol to the right of the edit fields. Yellow fields are read only; they are read when the
refresh arrow is clicked.
