installed for WeatherCaster to function.

packets to a serial data stream. The second driver, called the USB SERIAL PORT

driver, makes the USB connection appear as a COM port in the Windows™

Device Manager.

Serial Converter driver is not Microsoft Windows™ certiﬁed. However, it has

been tested for stable and reliable operation. Click Continue Anyway to proceed

with the installation.

3. When the driver installation is complete, click Finish.

4. Power the Converter or Combiner.
