How to Install Newport CONEX-PSD USB Virtual Serial Port (COM4) Driver

1. Check your system. Confirm your Windows version and whether it is 32-bit or 64-bit. If comparing Windows 10/11 compatibility, note that Windows 11 is not included in the listed supported systems; verify support before proceeding.
2. Choose the appropriate package. Before starting your Newport CONEX-PSD USB Virtual Serial Port (COM4) driver download for Windows, review the package’s supported hardware and operating systems. Choose the latest version compatible with your setup, and verify the source of any free download.
3. Install the driver. Extract the downloaded archive if necessary, then follow the included instructions. Run the installer if provided, connecting or disconnecting the device when instructed.
4. Confirm device recognition. Connect the device to a working USB port and open Device Manager. Check under “Ports (COM & LPT)” for the Newport virtual serial port and make sure no warning icon appears.
5. Configure your application. Select the COM port shown in Device Manager in your compatible software. Although the device name specifies COM4, Windows may assign a different number. Use the assigned port and the communication settings required by the device documentation.

Keep the driver updated when a compatible release addresses connection issues or supports changes to your system. Before you update, review the release notes and retain the working installer so you can restore your previous setup if needed.
