You now need to install the 'CP210X USB to Serial Converter'. You may find a link on your Start menu under 'Weatherlink'. Alternatively, you should find it in the folder where Weatherlink was installed, under 'Support' then 'Utilities'. Davis also make version 2 of this utility available on their web site, [http://www.davisnet.com/support/weather/downloads/software_driver.asp here], and you may find that this version will work for you if the installed version does not. It should be clear from the messages output by the utility that it has successfully switched the logger to serial mode. | You now need to install the 'CP210X USB to Serial Converter'.

It's a good idea to then update the driver to the latest version from the Silicon Labs web site, particularly if you use Windows 7 or later. You can download it [http://www.silabs.com/products/mcu/pages/usbtouartbridgevcpdrivers.aspx here] - click on 'VCP driver kit' under 'Download for Windows XP/Server 2003/Vista/7' to begin the download. Run the executable once it's downloaded. | It's a good idea to then update the driver to the latest version from the Silicon Labs web site, particularly if you use Windows 7 or later.
