Appendix E: USB Driver Installation Recovery

The USB TriCoder uses two separate USB “drivers”: The HID driver provided with Windows and the Full Speed transfer driver provided with the TriCoder. Which driver is active depends on the operating mode of the TriCoder. Driver installation is initiated when the TriCoder device (HID or Full Speed) attempts to attach to the host and the driver is not present (or incorrectly installed) on the host PC.

Incorrect driver installation is unlikely to happen; however:

Full Speed driver installation can be cancelled by the user and the Full Speed USB upload in the TriCoder will not function. The Full Speed driver installation is re-initiated next time the TriCoder is attached either before or after a Windows restart (depending on the version of Windows). Recovery from an error in installing the Full Speed driver is at worst rebooting the PC and re -attaching the TriCoder to redo the driver installation.

HID driver installation is usually automatic: A Windows pop up indicating that a new hardware device has been found will pop up and then disappear on their own and you‟re done. In some situations, the required files for the HID driver are not all found on the computer and the user is prompted for their Windows CD-ROM. If the user cancels the HID driver installation at this point, the HID mode TriCoder will not function properly and Windows does not automatically initiate a re-install as it does with the Full Speed driver. Control panel utilities (varies with operating system) are required to re-install the HID driver.

Resolving incomplete, aborted, or incorrect FULL SPEED driver installation

This driver is provided with the TriCoder (included on the Utilities CD-ROM). Restarting Windows and re-attaching TriCoder will often re-initiate driver installation; if so, just follow the instructions and this time point the installer to the TriCoder Utilities CD, (or if you have downloaded the drivers, to the folder where you saved the download).

Assuming the drivers was partially installed, you will have to update the driver manually following the below procedures:
