Verify/Change COM Port Assignment

NOTE: You should now have the ControlCAL USB Serial Adapter plugged into one of your computer's USB Ports.

5) Click on Ports (COM & LPT).
6) Look for Prolific USB to Serial Comm Port (COMx).
7) x is the COM Port Number the Adapter is assigned to. If x is between 1 - 9, you are done. You need to configure ControlCAL to use this COM Port (COM8 in this example - MENU/SETTINGS/PORT SETTINGS).

If you don't need to change the COM Port, simply exit the Device Manger, click Cancel on the System Properties window and close the Control Panel window.

9) Click on the Advanced.. button - see picture below.

That's it! Make sure you select the same COM Port in ControlCAL (MENU/SETTINGS/PORT SETTINGS).

Sorry, but I'm a little confused about the installation sequence of the Keyspan USB Serial Adapter Software and the ControlCAL adapter drivers.:confused:


In this thread is written to install the software from the Keyspan CD, but there is nothing mentioned about the ControlCAL_USBSerial-Driver.

In the ControlCAL Pioneer 9G ISFccc Profile Set User's Guide pdf is written on page 3:

Do i have to install both, the Keyspan Software from the CD and the ControlCAL_USBSerial-Driver_XP2K_v204102, when i use the recommended Keyspan USB Serial Adapter?
Or is the ControlCAL_USBSerial-Driver_XP2K_v204102 only for different USB Serial Adapters (non Keyspan USB Serial Adapters)?


Thx M5ster!

Tried it myself now, if you use the recommended Keyspan USB Serial Adapter, it is sufficient to use the Keyspan software from the CD.

With the Keyspan USB Serial Adapter there is no need for the ControlCAL_USBSerial-Driver.

Can i use apple (10.4.11)to download drivers??

[Turbe]

Hi,

You can download them, but....

For ControlCAL, you need Windows XP or newer so you use drivers for your Windows O/S. Many do use ControlCAL on Macs, with either Boot Camp, VMFusion or Parallels... see here for more info: http://www.controlcal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=182
