Serial Port Interface
The Copernicus GPS interface unit has a dual port USB interface that is available 
through a single A-type USB connection. Before the starter kit can be used with a 
USB 2.0-equipped Microsoft Windows (2000, XP)-based PC, the appropriate USB 
2.0 drivers must be installed on the PC.
Loading the FTDI Driver
The Copernicus GPS uses a USB 2.0 interface chip from Future Technology Devices 
International Ltd. (FTDI). The FTDI driver must be downloaded and installed on 
your PC before you can run the Trimble GPS Monitor (TGM) application used to 
communicate with the Copernicus GPS.
2.
Download and install the appropriate VCP (Virtual COM Port) driver for your 
operating system (Win'98 / ME /2000 / XP). Select the option with FT2232C 
series support. Follow the instructions provided on the Web site and with the 
driver. (http://www.ftdichip.com/Documents/InstallGuides.htm)
3.
Use the supplied USB cable to connect the Copernicus GPS interface unit to 
your PC. The FTDI driver automatically assigns two (2) virtual COM ports to 
the USB port. Use the Windows Device Manager to determine which COM 
Ports have been assigned to the USB port.
