INTERFACE INSTALLATION 

In  the  Ir-Link3/RS232  model  there  is  a  RSR232/Ir  communication 
interface. It must be connected to the serial port at the PC. 

In  the 

Ir-Link3/USB 

model  there  is  a  USB/Ir  communication 

interface,  which  must  be  connected  to  the  available  USB  port. 
Windows will request the proper driver installation, which is found in 
the CD-ROM that is provided with the logger.

USB DRIVES INSTALLATION 

The  drives  installation  steps  may  vary  according  to  the  machine, 
even  for  the  same  version  of  an  operating  system.  The  following 
screenshots and steps are only to provide guidance. 

1.

 

Insert  the  CD  shipped  with  the  logger  in  the  CD-ROM 
drive. 

2.

 

Connect the serial communication interface IrLink-3 to the 
PC  USB  port.  Windows®  will  acknowledge  the  presence 
of new hardware  and a few seconds later it will start the 
drivers installation process. 

3.

 

The  found  new  hardware  wizard  will  be  displayed,  and 
you will be asked if you want to install the driver from the 
Windows Update website. Select  “No, not this time”, and 
then click Next. 

4.

 

Select  “Install  from  a  list  or  specific location  (Advanced)” 
and click “Next”. 

5.

 

Select  “Search for the best driver in these locations” and 
check  “Search  removable  media”.  Click  “Next”.  If 
installation  files  are  not  in  a  CD,  check  “Include  this 
location in the search” and show the file path. 

6.

 

If a prompt warns you that it does not support Windows® 
XP, click “Continue anyway”. 

7.

 

The  interface  driver  files  will  be  copied  to  the  computer 
and  after  a  few  seconds  a  screen  is  displayed  informing 
that  the  software  installation  as  been  concluded.  Click 
“Finish”. 

8.

 

In  some  situations,  the  steps  described  above  may  be 
repeated again. Follow the same procedures. 

In  later  uses  of  the  interface,  Windows®  may  require  the  driver 
installation  again.  In  this  case,  the  same  installation  wizard  will  be 
displayed,  and  you  will  have  to  select  the  option  “Install  software 
automatically  (recommended),  as  the  driver  may  already  be  in  the 
computer. 

The  following  screenshots  show  examples  of  Windows  XP® 
installation  wizard.  The  screens  in  Windows  2000  are  slightly 
different, but the content is basically the same.
