Start the installation by double-clicking the installation package. The following screen will appear.

2.1.2 Installing the USB Driver
Before using EasyScopeIII the USB driver needs to be installed. This is done by plugging the instrument
into a spare USB port on the PC. The instrument should be plugged into a USB hub port of your PC or
alternatively, a self-powered USB hub (one that has its own power supply).
If this is the first time that the instrument has been plugged in, Windows will request the USB drivers for
your product and will display a Found New Hardware Wizard dialog box. The example below is for
Windows Vista but the procedure is very similar for other Windows versions.
Connect the instrument to a spare USB port on the PC or self-powered hub. The following screen will
appear to begin guiding you through the driver installation.
Figure 7- New Hardware Found UI
Select “Locate and install driver software (recommended)”. Wait for few minutes for the device
driver to be installed. If it’s successful, the following popup will appear."

2.2 Mac OS
The USB driver for Mac OS is embedded within the software. As a result, no separate installation for the
driver is needed.
To install EasyScopeIII on Mac OS, the following steps should be followed. The example below is for Mac
OS X Mountain Lion but the procedure should be very similar for other Mac OS versions.
By default, MAC OS may not allow unsigned third-party applications to be installed. In order to overcome
this restriction, the security settings need to be changed.
Click on the Apple icon in the top left corner of the screen and choose System Preferences.
Next, click on Security & Privacy icon.
Figure 8- System Preference Window
To edit the security settings, click the padlock icon in the bottom left of the window.
Figure 9- Security & Privacy Window
The Mac credentials will need to be confirmed before the settings can be changed, enter them and hit
Unlock.
