1. Run the downloaded setup executable.
2. Plug the EZ-Tap Pro module into USB port on the PC and wait for the driver installation to complete
3. Run the EZ-View application program

For earlier EZ-View application versions:

2. Plug the EZ-Tap Pro module into USB port on the PC and wait for the driver installation to complete
3. Unzip the files in the EZ-View application .zip file to a directory of your choice

Note that once the device driver has been correctly installed, EZ-Tap Pro appears as a USB COM port under Windows Device Manager.
