B. Getting started
Starting to use your Cypress USB thermometer is easy. Just follow these simple steps:
1. Insert the Cypress USB CD-ROM
The Cypress CD-ROM contains the Cypress USB Thermometer application and driver files
you will need. Place it in the CD-ROM drive you use to install your software.
2. Run SETUP.EXE from the CD-ROM
This will install the Cypress USB Thermometer Windows application.
The Cypress USB Thermometer application is the user interface program which displays the
temperature measurement received from the Cypress USB Thermometer device on the USB
Starter Kit PC board.
The SETUP.EXE is located in the root directory of the Starter Kit CD-ROM. After you have
run SETUP.EXE, the Cypress USB Thermometer Windows application will be properly
installed in the default directory C:\Program Files\Thermometer or a directory selected by
you.
The setup program also installs an entry in the Programs section of your Start menu.
The Cypress USB Thermometer application may be uninstalled by selecting it in the
“Add/Remove Programs” section of the “Control Panel.”
3. Plug the A-end (flat connector) of the USB cable into the USB port of your PC
4. Plug the B-end (square connector) of the USB cable into the B-receptacle of the
CY3640 USB Starter Kit
The computer will notify you that it has found new hardware and is looking for a driver. If it
does not find a driver, it will then ask you to supply a driver.
5. Insert the Cypress USB CD-ROM (if prompted to do so)
If your computer prompts you to supply a driver, make sure that your Cypress USB CD-ROM
is inserted into your computer’s CD-ROM drive.
Your computer will now automatically install the Cypress USB driver from the CD-ROM.
6. Run the Cypress USB Thermometer application
When you want to run the Cypress USB Thermometer application, use the “Programs” menu
and select the Cypress USB Thermometer entry. The computer will display a graph showing
the temperature reading over time. Use the options described in the following sections to
control various aspects of the USB thermometer.
NOTE
