FTDI driver auto installation 

 
The USB cable provided with the Limpet logger is build using a FTDI chip. When the USB 
cable is first connected to a computer, Window Update will automatically detect the FTDI 
driver for the USB cable online and install it on the computer, if the driver is not already 
present. 
 
If no suitable driver is automatically found via Window Update, then the user should 
manually install the driver.
