Where can I get the driver to connect the SiRad Simple® ?

You need an FTDI cable (delivered with the sensor). You can download the latest FTDI driver (VCP driver) for your FTDI cable from the FTDI Chip Website at http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm.

I installed the FTDI driver for the SiRad Simple® but it does not show up.

Please open the Device Manager in Windows and unfold the ‘Ports (COM & LPT)’ section. You should see a couple of ports there. Now unplug and plug your SiRad Simple® sensor. The sensor is installed properly if you can see another port show up, usually named ‘USB Serial Port (COMx)’ or similar. If this is not the case, please check your connection and if the device has power. Remove the FTDI driver and start over with the FTDI driver installation.

The FTDI driver for the SiRad Simple® does not work properly.

We recommend using a cable with FTDI chipset (delivered with the sensor) instead of cheaper alternatives since a lot of our customers found the cheaper alternatives to be very unstable.
