The GPIB-USB-HS is a new Interface device which is an interesting alternative to the commonly used PCI-GPIB board. This device can be used also on Laptop configurations and is quickly changed to a different PC system if needed!

If a previous 488.2 driver lower than version 2.0 is installed, this has to be removed prior to this installation (> control > software > )

*) for Multi-HSM configurations refer to the D-7000 manual Close Configuration with OK button. All changes are updated in driver immediately no reboot is needed.

Remarks: If OS was newly installed, a group named Everyone must be present for proper function of HSM Software it is not possible to create new Applications if this group is missing! At english Windows OS this group is common if another language version is used, this group has to be added and linked to the equivalent group (e.g. Jeder in german OS)

If EZChrom Elite will be used as CDS, above configuration of the driver is not necessary!
