2. Driver Installation
The ZSB-000 allows to plug-in a PC USB port and to be used as a serial communications port and requires an FTDI
driver. You can obtain the relevant driver for your operating system from the FTDI web page as below.
Go to the VCP drivers, download the required driver to your disk and double-click on its icon to install.
1. When you plug the USB-to-serial cable into a USB port of your PC, check whether Found new hardware
wizard for “USB Serial Port” is displayed. If this appears, you must install the driver by following the rest of this
procedure. Otherwise, the driver is already installed.
2. Fill in the screen Install from a specific location, as follows:
a) Select the radio button Search for the best driver in these locations.
b) Tick the checkbox Include this location in the search.
c) Using the Browse button navigates to the directory FTDI_drivers,
d) Click OK.
The wizard will automatically fill in the details in the drop-down search box.
3. In the Found new hardware wizard screen, click “Next”.
4. Wait for the wizard as it searches for and installs the new driver. On completion, it will display the message
“Completing the Found new hardware wizard”. Click Finish to complete.
In some cases, you may need to repeat the procedure from Step 2, depending on your hardware configuration.
Finally, the Found new hardware bubble will indicate that the hardware is installed and ready for use.
