Overview
If, after having installed the latest AMXUSBLAN driver and connecting the panel to the PC via USB,
you do not see the green USB icon in your Windows Taskbar, there will be no communication to the
panel. This is typically due to issues relating to the installation of the driver.
If after following the instructions in this guide, you cannot communicate with the target touch panel,
verify that the correct version of the AMXUSBLAN driver has been installed on your PC:
