Windows 7/8/8.1/10 – USB Driver for the Updated F6150 (CPU2 and CPU3) Front Panel
Recent F6150 Power System Simulators have a front-panel layout with three Ethernet ports and one USB B serial port. (Earlier F6150 instruments had one Ethernet port and one RS-232 serial port)
The USB B port on the F6150 provides serial communication without using an external USB-to-RS-232 adapter. The USB B port on the F6150 operates after you load the driver, available at the link, below.
Doble provides the USB type A-to-B cable for communicating via USB with the newer F6150 instruments. Do not insert this cable into your computer until after you have completed the driver installation, below.
Access the USB driver at the OEM manufacturer’s page: https://www.silabs.com/products/development-tools/software/usb-to-uart-bridge-vcp-drivers
Select the download link “Download VCP (5.3 MB)” under the “Download for Windows 7/8/8.1/10 (v6.7.5)” section. If you cannot see a link in the Software column, check with your IT department or contact Doble Engineering.
Extract (unzip) the file on your computer to view the two installer applications, _x86.exe (32-bit operating systems—Windows 7 and older) and _x64.exe (64-bit operating systems—Windows 7 and newer). Select the appropriate installer and right click on the file name to “Run as administrator.”
With the F6150 instrument powered, connect the USB cable. Open Device Manager and confirm that the instrument port is available.
