The Xsens USB-serial converter driver enables Windows to communicate with the Xsens converter, providing the serial connection required by compatible devices and software. You may need it when setting up an Xsens device for the first time, reinstalling Windows, or troubleshooting a converter that appears as an unknown device in Device Manager.
Key Features
- USB-to-serial communication: Lets compatible software exchange data with connected Xsens hardware through a USB connection.
- Device recognition: Helps Windows identify the converter and make its serial interface available to applications.
- COM port access: Allows software that uses serial communication to select the converter’s assigned COM port.
- Windows compatibility: Intended for Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, and XP, subject to the requirements of the individual driver package.
Before choosing an Xsens USB-serial converter driver download for Windows, check your operating system and whether it uses a 32-bit or 64-bit architecture. If you are comparing Windows 10/11 compatibility, note that Windows 11 is not included in the supported OS list provided here; confirm support with Xsens before attempting installation. Choose a free download from a trusted source, and verify that the package matches your converter rather than relying on the device name alone.
How to Install Xsens USB-serial converter Driver
- Check your system and device. Confirm your Windows version and system architecture. If necessary, use the converter’s hardware IDs in Device Manager to help verify the correct package.
- Download a compatible driver. Select the latest version that explicitly supports your operating system and Xsens hardware. Extract the files if they arrive in a compressed archive.
- Run the installer. Follow the included instructions, using administrator permissions when requested. Connect or disconnect the converter as directed by the package documentation.
- Install manually if needed. If no installer is supplied, open Device Manager, locate the converter, choose Update driver, and browse to the extracted driver folder. Menu wording may vary by Windows version.
- Verify operation. Restart Windows if prompted, then check Device Manager for warning icons. If a COM port is assigned, select that port in your compatible application and test the connection.
Keep the driver updated when Xsens provides a relevant compatibility fix or recommends an update for your setup. Before replacing a working driver, review the package requirements and retain the previous installer in case you need to restore it.
