MTS Temposonics
Mini-CD, part no. 551086 Readme File

This CD contains the setup file for the driver software for the Temposonics
USB Serial Converter, (part no. 253689).  The setup file is an installation
executable that will automatically install the appropriate drivers when run. 

The USB Serial Converter, along with a Temposonics PC programming kit, provide
the interface necessary for sensor programming and diagnostics when using a PC's
USB port.

The setup file named "CDM20406.exe"
is for use with the following Windows operating systems:

* Windows Vista
* Windows Vista x64
* Windows XP
* Windows XP x64
* Windows 2000
* Windows Server 2003
* Windows Server 2003 x64

If the AutoPlay feature is enabled for your computer's CD-ROM drive then the
installation executable file should automatically run when this CD is inserted.
If however, the file did not run then go to the Windows Start menu and select
"Run..."  Type in the appropriate drive letter for your CD-ROM drive and the
program filename, (for example, D:\CDM20406.exe).

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Temposonics USB Serial Converter uses the FTDI chip to implement a Virtual
COM Port (VCP) to allow running the Temposonics R-Series and G-Series PC Setup
Software programs using the USB port.  The FTDI driver files included in the
installation executable file on this CD are revision "2.04.06 (March 20, 2008)",
(CDM 2.04.06).

 The files included in a standard 32-bit CDM release are:
* Installation files
	FTDIBUS.INF
	FTDIPORT.INF
* Driver files
	FTDIBUS.SYS
	FTSER2K.SYS
* D2XX Interface

	FTD2XX.DLL (32-bit)
	FTD2XX.LIB (64-bit)
	FTD2XX.LIB (32-bit)

Other drivers for other operating systems are available for free download at
http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm.  On making a new release, the files will
also be posted onto FTDIs web site http://www.ftdichip.com/FTDrivers.htm in ZIP

Note that the original Temposonics Serial Converter, (part no. 253116), that was
supplied in the original PC Programming Kits utilizes the PC's RS-232 COM1 port,
(D-Sub 9-pin connector).

The newer USB Serial Converter, (part no. 253689), provides a convenient solution
for notebook style PCs that do not have a RS-232 (COM1) port available.  It 
can be used instead of the original 253116 serial converter for all of the
programming kits as shown below:

       R-Series Analog PC Programming Kit, (part no. 253309)
       R-Series SSI PC Programming Kit, (part no. 253310)
       G-Series Analog PC Programming Kit, (part no. 253311)
       G-Series Digital-Pulse PC Programming Kit, (part no. 253312)
