Silicon Labs CP210x USB to UART Bridge is commonly used in many medical monitors, such as MD300I2, MD300W1, MD100A12, CMS50E, CMS50FW, and CMS50EW. Occasionally customers reported problems when connecting these devices to the computer. Here is is list of the most common ones, starting with the simplest one to resolve to the 'impossible' ones.

CP210x driver download: You can download a copy of the driver from this website.

  • There is a driver from Silicon Labs which installs this USB device as Virtual COM port under Windows. After that you can use NI-VISA to access this COM port just like a physical COM port in the way as shown by ijustlovemath. However, use of the Bytes at Serial Port is almost always the wrong thing to use when you communicate with a device.

Windows driver signature enforcement: Later versions of Windows would prevent the driver from being installed as it is not digitally signed. To get around this issue, disable the driver signature enforcement before installing the software.

To disable this feature in Windows 8:

  • From Charms bar, select Settings >> 'Change PC settings' >> 'General' >> 'Restart now' in 'Advanced startup' section >> 'Troubleshoot' >> 'Advanced options' >> 'Startup Settings' >> 'Restart'. The computer would restart.
  • During startup, select the 'Disable driver signature enforcement' option.

Another alternative is during system reboots and before Windows starts, press F8 key to bring up the Advanced Boot Options menu. Then disable driver signature enforcement manually.

Windows compatibility: A customer reported that the software ran better in XP compatibility mode. Right click software icon >> Properties >> Compatibility tab >> Check 'Run the program in compatibility mode for' and select Windows XP in the dropdown list.

Software installation: Something happens during installation or the CD containing the software is defective.

If the CD is defective, contact your supplier for assistance. See next section on how to reinstall the software.

Software conflict: If a conflict exists, there is an error message, such as 'Read COM error' or 'Cannot connect to device.' When two or more programs trying to talk to USB ports, they may interfere with each other. There are two methods to resolve this problem:
