I. PC Software USB Driver Install Guide
Use the supplied USB cable to connect the oscilloscope with a PC through their USB ports.
Note: If you use a USB cable that is not supplied by us, some problems such as connection error and signal disturbing might
occur.
For Windows Vista\Windows 7\Windows 8
The Microsoft Windows Systems since Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8, change a lot, which require a new installation guide of USB driver. Here it is.
During the whole installation, please assure that the device is running well and plugged into PC from USB.
Right click [Computer], you can find it on the desktop, or in [Start] menu.
in the pop up menu, click [Manage] and it will open a window named "Computer Management", as follow, in the left side click [Device Manager], it will show a devices tree in
the middle, and then click the last one button "Scan for hardware changes" in tool bar as follow, and if the device is running well and plugged into PC, computer will detect an
unknown device with a "!" icon.
Right click the unknown device icon, in the pop up menu click [Update Driver Software...],
In the open window, select [Browse my computer for driver software],

The next window, select a directory path for the driver software location, and click "Next",
Notice: the driver software location is a directory that is under the software setup folder named "USBDRV" (For Windows 8, the location is USBDRV\USBDRV_win8), and the
contents inside are like these:
Or like this, than you should use the "USBDRV" directory to indicate the ".inf" file, and to the ".sys" or ".dll" file, you can indicate then in different directories like "x86", "ia64" or
"amd64" depending on the CPU, but most of time just x86 and amd64 are enough.

OK, back to the driver installing, after last "Next" step, the system is installing driver software for you, as follow,
In the course,
It(for Windows XP x86&x64, Windows Vista x86&x64, Windows 7 x86) may open a window named "Windows Security" as below, and just select "Install this driver software
anyway" to continue,
