Install drivers manually

 
Note:
  • If you have previously installed a pre-release version of drivers, follow the procedure in Appendix D first before installing new drivers manually.
  • The following procedure only applies to Windows XP operating systems. On Windows 7 operating systems, drivers are automatically installed.
  • There are two drivers that have to be installed manually; one for ports and another for USB controllers. You need to complete the driver installation on the Found New Hardware Wizard twice to install both drivers.
  1. Connect the USB Fieldbus Interface to the computer using the USB cable provided.
    This facilitates manual installation of drivers through the Found New Hardware Wizard.
  2. From the Found New Hardware Wizard, select the No, not this time option and click Next.
  3. Select the Install from a list or specific location (Advanced) option and click Next.
  4. Select the Search for the best driver in these locations option and select the Include this location in the search check box.

  5. Browse to where the drivers are located and click Next.
    The drivers are typically in C:\Program Files\Emerson Process Management\USB Fieldbus Interface\Drivers.
  6. If a Windows Logo compatibility warning is displayed, click Continue Anyway to continue the driver installation.
    The wizard installs the driver.
  7. Click Finish to close the wizard and start the second driver installation.
    After closing, the Found New Hardware Wizard opens again to install the second driver.
  8. Repeat steps 2 through 7 to complete the second driver installation.
    Note: For the second driver installation, you may be prompted to select the driver that best matches the connected USB Fieldbus Interface. This happens when you have previously installed a pre-release version of the driver. Always select the second entry on the dialog, then click Next.
