Symptoms

Assume that you have a computer that equips with an IEEE 1394 FireWire controller card. After you upgrade the computer from Windows 7 to Windows 8.1 or Windows 8, devices that connect to the computer by using a FireWire port do not work.

Your 1st step is to install the USB driver and make sure that it is shown up on the device driver under the WINDOWs' control panel After that, double click on each of the HAMEG address ID and make sure that the VCP is activated. The driver you can find on the delivered CD or on case the instrument can not be operated via the front panel. Our homepage www.hameg.com at the download area for the HO720/HO730. The connection can be done via the normal USB The HMP2020/2030 uses SCPI (= Standard Commands for Pro- or via the virtual COM port. 'USB Serial Device' sample for 9B96 board requires 'Virual COM port driver'. From readme.txt: 'For WindowsXP or Vista, usbdevserial.inf should be used.' This inf works under 32-bit Windows, but not for 64.

Cause

This issue occurs because the legacy 1394 bus drivers (1394bus.sys and Ochi1394.sys) are removed in Windows 8.1 or Windows 8.

Additional package information

• This driver is only intended to work with legacy 1394 host controllers. Therefore, you may experience lower transfer data rates than the 1394b driver.

• The driver is intended to resolve compatibility issues for 1394 peripherals on 1394b systems. If you are not experiencing these issues, you should continue to use inbox drivers that are provided in Windows 8.1 or Windows 8.

• You have to reinstall this stand-alone driver package if you upgrade to a newer operating system version in the future.

824684 Description of the standard terminology that is used to describe Microsoft software updates

Most difficulties in working with Micro-Manager arise from configuring the system and from problems/issues with specific devices. In both of these cases you are interacting mainly with device adapters. These device adapters have been written by several different authors, all behave slightly differently, and interact with specific hardware that has its own peculiarities. On these pages we will maintain as much information as possible about Micro-Manager device adapters. This will help you configure and understand your Micro-Manager system. We hope that the authors of the device adapters will maintain this information, but please feel free to update the information here with your own experiences. The information here will refer to the most recent Micro-Manager release.
