Connecting Hardware to the PC

Note: In order to remain compatible with a variety of tuning packages, Moates

Hardware uses Virtual COM (Serial) Ports. It is important to note that COM Ports are generally assigned by USB Port and not by the Device itself.

For example, if you have two USB

Ports on your laptop, a top and a bottom

port, if the top port is assigned COM1 the first time, it will generally remain COM1 no

matter what Moates Device is used.

In future revisions, the COM port will remain with device, eliminating the need to remember which COM Port each USB Port is assigned.

1. Start by plugging the Ostrich into any USB Port.

Note: If the drivers have been preinstalled correctly, Windows will Find New

Hardware and install the drivers in the background. Once the drivers have finished installing, Windows will notify you that Your Hardware is Ready for Use.

2. Right-Click on My Computer, then click Properties

3. Click the Hardware tab, then click Device Manager 4. Expand Ports (COM & LPT) and look for USB Serial Port (COMX)
