A 5x86‑compatible PC with at least 32 MB RAM, 20 MB free hard‑drive space, a USB port, and Windows 98/ME/2000/XP installed.
Connect the board to a USB port, let the Found New Hardware wizard appear, choose to install the driver from the CD‑ROM, and finish the wizard.
Open Device Manager and look for “USB Serial Port (COMx)” under Ports (COM & LPT); the COM number (usually 3 or 4) is used by the software.
The calibration sequence programs coefficients into the sensor IC and stores them in EEPROM so the conditioner provides accurate output.
