Infared Driver Interface Installation DVX009 and DVX010

Prompts to install DVX009 and DVX010 drivers, click Yes.

Software from Silicone Laboratories will appear, follow the prompts and continue through the installation process.

Follow prompts and don’t forget to check launch the CP210xVCP Driver Install

If this appears in the install, you may have had an Infrared (IR) device previously installed on your computer. Click option Repair then click on Next.

You may be asked to restart your computer DO NOT restart your computer when asked during the IR download.  The Blaze install is still not completed. You can restart your computer manually after the Blaze install is completed.

 

After Blaze is installed, plug in the InfraRed (IR) interface (DVX009 or DVX010) into the USB port.

 

Allow the computer to automatically install the driver.  (If a prompt appears and asks to have you let the computer search Windows Update for the driver, click CANCEL, this is a very long process and the Blaze software will automatically recognize the driver and install it).

 

 

Once the driver has been installed, it will show that the driver software has been installed successfully.

 

 

Remember what COM Port the device is specified at for when you open Blaze as you may need to specify the COM port your InfaRed (IR) devise is located at.
