Connect-160 QuickStart USB-microDig
If you're on Windows 10, please install Visual Studio 2013 redistributable packages before starting Connect.
Before starting Connect, make sure to quit and move any older version to a place where it can't be started automatically, or simply delete it.
After starting Connect, open the "About" window from the main menu in the system tray to verify the version that is actually running.
Installing the USB-microDig
Start Connect. If you haven't installed the USB-microDig drivers and LoopMIDI software, Connect will popup dialogs to direct you to the webpages where to download from. If after installing the Siliconlabs driver for the USB-microDig no USB-microDig is connected to the computer, Connect will report that the Siliconlabs driver is missing. Connect the USB-microDig to the computer to finalize the Siliconlabs driver installation, and then start Connect. Once the software is fully installed, Connect runs in the background and can be accessed via the system tray at the bottom right of the screen.
Connecting to the USB-microDig
If you hadn't done so already, plug in the USB-microDig to a USB port on your Computer and I-CubeX Connect will automatically create a virtual MIDI port with the name and serial number of that device and show it in the device list. The USB-microDig will also appear in the system tray menu that can be accessed by right-clicking on the icon in the system tray. You can view the device by clicking on its entry in the device list.
On USB-microDigs with firmware 7.2 or newer the yellow and green LEDs on the USB-microDig will blink briefly. If it was in host mode the blinking of both green and yellow LEDs will stop. On USB-microDigs with firmware 7.1 or older the red power LED will stop blinking to indicate that it is enabled.
To disable the MIDI port, click on the "Disable" button in the main window, or from the status bar menu.
Note that unplugging the USB-microDig will also disable the MIDI port and cause it to be greyed-out in the devices list.
If upon plugging in your USB-microDig it is not immediately recognized by I-CubeX Connect, make sure you've installed the USB-microDig drivers and LoopMIDI software. The USB-microDig drivers were installed correctly if the USB-microDig is listed in the Device Manager (select from the menu that appears after right-clicking on the Start menu) as a serial (COM) port.
(Un)plugging a digitizer while Connect is starting up or refreshing the list of digitizers may result in incorrect display of the status of the digitizer that was (un)plugged.
