| About Zooming | ||||
|
Click any image with your mouse to zoom, and a full-size image ( read below for more
information on image sizing ) will display in your browser. After viewing the image,
click your browser's Back button to return to this page. It should be noted that your browser may automatically scale the zoomed image in order to fit it within the browser window. Shown below is a partial image showing the zooming of #20 above at 800x600 screen resolution into Windows Internet Explorer. Note how the text of the scaled image is distorted and unreadable.
The resizing icon shown in the lower-right corner of the image is automatically displayed by Internet Explorer when the mouse is placed over an image ( as shown here ) that has been resized to fit the screen. Clicking the mouse on that icon will cause the image to be enlarged to full size and scrollbars will also be created so you can scroll the page to view the various parts of the image. There are a lot of different browsers in use and most will scale the image down as explained above. However the technique for showing the full image varies with the different browsers but placing the mouse cursor on top of the image will usually present some type of message to let you know how to display the image in it's full size.

These images were displayed on a WinXP system during the installation process. Click any image to zoom, and then your browser BACK arrow to return to this page. Top of page |
| Where are the files | ||||
|
These images are screenshots taken inside the Windows file manager to show where the various files are
located. Be sure to look at images #13 and #14, for what to do if the files aren't visible to you when
using the Windows explorer ( often referred to as the file manager ) . Your
actual view may vary depending on the way you have your explorer viewing options configured. Click any image to zoom, and then your browser BACK arrow to return to this page. Top of page |
| The application configuration file | ||||
|
These images are screenshots taken to explain how to open and edit the configuration file
that is provided with many of our sample applications. This is also discussed in the main installation
documentation. This configuration file is used only by the application and should not to be confused
with the LL_USB.INI that is installed into the windows folder by the Windows
installer during the driver installation process and used by our DLL. Click any image to zoom, and then your browser BACK arrow to return to this page. Top of page |
| Using the Device Manager | ||||
|
These images are screenshots taken to show the process of getting into the Windows Device Manager
to view the list of installed USB related devices. This was taken at our shop which has many more
devices than is typical. However, a single M30x device connected to the port of a PC may have a
minimum of three devices shown - one being the main host controller, another being the HUB, and another
being the M30x device itself. If one or more external HUBS are added, the list will grow. Click any image to zoom, and then your browser BACK arrow to return to this page. Top of page |
| Replacing the device driver | ||||
|
This is a short pictorial of updating the device driver version by copying the newest version (
downloadable from our website ) over top of an older version. The process is also discussed
in the main installation html documentation. Click any image to zoom, and then your browser BACK arrow to return to this page. Top of page |
| The Windows File Manager | ||||
|
The term Windows Explorer ( not to be confused with Microsoft Internet Explorer )
may be new to those most familar with the term File Manager, as it was previously known in
early versions of windows. Whatever you prefer to refer to it as, it is used for file management - storage, copying,
deleting, editing, finding version numbers, etc.
File Manager can be quickly accessed in any of the new Windows versions with almost any fairly new keyboard just by pressing the key in the lower left corner with the window icon on it and at the same time hitting the E key on your keyboard:
Click the link below to see a partial screenshot of Windows Explorer: Show Image The image also shows a way to view the file details by selecting the option from one of the menu buttons at the top of Explorer. The default setting for Windows is to show icons for regular files, and thumbnail images for image files. Finding a file version is relatively simple in Explorer. You simply right-click your mouse on the file and from the menu that appears, select properties , and then from the box that will then appear, select the version tab to see the version information and some other misc. information about the file. Below are some links to some screenshots taken of the process. File Properties, File Version Top of page |

| Downloading file from webpage | ||||
|
This is a short pictorial demonstrating the process of downloading a file from a page at our website. We provide both archives and individual files to support our M30x devices. The files include all those required for installation such as device drivers, DLLs, .inf, .ini, as well as many sample applications and documenattion to fully explain and even demonstrate how to write your own software to interface our devices. Some of our sample applications are so complete that you may be able to do everything you need to do just by using them alone. The download-from-webpage explains downloading from one of our webpages, while the download-from-website explains downloading the files directly from the web server where the files are located. Both are used ( depending on the link used ) and both are quite similar. Click any image to zoom, and then your browser BACK arrow to return to this page. Top of page |
