LibUSB-Win32 and Friends
To use USB devices LibUSB-Win32 must be installed.
Please go here
for installation files. This site has two installation files
that
can be reached from the Downloads page. These include the
LibUSB-Win32 Device Driver and the LibUSB-Win32 Filter Driver.
At
a minimum you will need the LibUSB-Win32 Device Driver installed on
your machine. You can optionally use the LibUSB-Win32
Filter Driver instead of using the ArgyllCMS specific device drivers
that are also included with LProf. But it has not been
extensively tested and some devices may not work correctly when you use
the LibUSB-Win32 Filter Driver.
Installing the ArgyllCMS
Device Driver
For a new device this is
fairly
simple. First plug in the device and you will be greeted by
the
Windows "New Hardware Found" dialog. This dialog will ask you
to
install drivers for the device. Use this dialog to navigate
to
the location of the ArgyllCMS drivers. These will be
located
in <lprof install location>\share\lprof\drivers.
Select the
*.inf file that is correct for your device and finish running the
dialog,
If you have already installed the vendors drivers then you may need to
switch to the ArgyllCMS drivers if the the LibUSB-Win32
Filter Driver does not work for your device (see next section).
To switch drivers use
the Windows Device Manager "Update Drivers" dialog. This will
allow you to select the ArgyllCMS drivers for your device.
You
can also use the "Update Drivers" "Display a List of Known Drivers"
dialog to switch back and forth between the vendor's driver and the
ArgyllCMS driver if you should need to do this.
There may be times when it is difficult to locate your device in the
Windows Device Manager. To help you make sure you are
installing the drivers for the correct device please refer to the
Vendor and Product IDs table below.
The LibUSB-Win32
Filter Driver
It may be possible to use
this driver
along with the drivers supplied by the device vendor rather than the
ArgyllCMS drivers for your device. Testing with a EyeOne
Display
LT did uncover some issues with this particular device and using the LibUSB-Win32
Filter Driver. These appeared to be timeout issues and it
appears that some versions of the LibUSB-Win32 Filter Driver have this
issue and other do not. If the LibUSB-Win32
Filter Driver works for your device then you can use your device with
other software without having to switch drivers.
Huey HID or ArgyllCMS Drivers
The Huey is a HID device and may not need to have a driver
installed when the device is first connected. But
on some systems this is not the case and you will need to install the
ArgyllCMS device drivers for the Huey. If that is the case on our
system you will need to open up the Windows Device Manager and
find the Huey
device to change it's drivers. Look for it in the HID devices
list. It will not be clearly labeled and will likely just
show up as a nondescript HID device. To find it you will need
to open the Properties dialog for each HID device and then go to the
Details tab and select Hardware IDs. If the device is a Huey
this will have something like:
USB\Vid_0971&Pid_2005&Rev_001
Vid 0971 is the GretagMacbeth vendor ID and Pid 2005 is the Huey
product ID. The Rev number does not matter. Once
the Huey entry in the list of HID devices is located install the
ArgyllCMS driver for the Huey.
ColorVision Spyder 2
If you have a ColorVision Spyder 2 you will have additional
steps that are needed to fully install it. Please see the Spyder 2 installation help page
for information that applies to all platforms for this device.
