===PC===

Using the OPN-2001 with a Windows PC requires you to download and install Opticon's PC USB Drivers Installer, and an application to retrieve the data like the PC Companion Application.

====Initial Setup====

You will only need to do this part once per computer.

# To install the Mac Companion Application, download the "OPN-2001 MAC Companion Application" under software downloads. Open the resulting folder, and run the installer "Opticon OPN Demo Application.pkg." Follow the prompts until the installation is complete.

# Plug the OPN-2001 into the Mac. At this point the OPN-2001 should be recognized as a network interface.

# Start up the OPN-2001 Mac Companion Application using the Finder. It will automatically detect the OPN-2001. The connection can be confirmed by the green "Connected" text in the top right corner of the application.

The OPN-2001 and the Mac are now connected and working together.
