Driver Pack 80 Volt Drivers Installation: CMC 8000 and 8500 Series

The new 80 Volt Driver Packs now have a new USB controller.

The old one is TI and the new one is FTDI.

The MatDesigner software prompts you to close the Found New Hardware Wizard, in which doing so prevents the full install of the drivers.

New drivers are to be installed with the 5.4.1. and 5.5.1.

If the Drivers are not installed, the data light will not blink or come on, and the Driver Pack will appear to be bad when connected to the PC.

The serial number range for the 80V Driver Packs with the new FTDI controller chip is 85950 - 86100.

You can identify these units visually by looking at the Serial Number sticker on the Driver Pack.

The letter B under Rev: indicates the unit has the FTDI chip installed.

Make sure that you have the 5.4.1. or 5.5.1. MatDesigner CD.

If you no longer have the CD, please call Wizard.

These steps are necessary to complete before installing any Drivers such as TI or FTDI, because Microsoft does not allow unsigned drivers to install.

NOTE: You will have to perform these steps ANY time you need to reinstall the drivers.
