Preparations for using the UA-1000

Installing the driver

What is a driver?

A “driver” is software that transfers data between the UA-1000 and application software running on your computer, when your computer and the UA-1000 are connected by a USB cable. The driver sends data from your application to the UA- 1000, and from the UA-1000 to your application.

With the UA-1000 disconnected, start up Windows.

Disconnect all USB cables except for a USB keyboard and USB mouse (if used).

If you are using virus checking or similar software, be sure to exit it as well.

Depending on how your system is set up, the System icon may be displayed directly in the Control Panel (the Classic view). In this case, double-click the System icon.

If you changed “What action do you want Windows to take?,” you must restore the

previous setting after you have
