# Installation of the Windows driver for your spectrophotometer

### 1) Driver download

The drivers are included in the Coraye spectrophotometer plugins, which can be downloaded from the dashboard: <https://dashboard.coraye.com/plugins>

In our example, we will install that of the Konica Minolta MYIRO.

1\) With your favorite browser go to the Dashboard \
2\) Select the plugin corresponding to your spectrophotometer. \
3\) Download the Windows version plugin \
4\) Once the .zip file has downloaded, unzip it.<br>

Once the file is decompressed, the driver for Windows 10 64 bits is available in the folder:\
C:\\....\Plugin MYIRO\MYIRO-Pilot-WIN-1.1.6\lib\windows\x64

### 3) Driver installation

When you connect the spectrophotometer for the first time, it appears as "**USB serial device**" in Windows Device Manager.

This means that the driver has never been installed.

To install the driver, right click on "**USB serial device**" then select "**Update drive**r"

When you have indicated the path, click on "**Next**"

The driver will install, and "**USB serial device**" will become "**Measuring Instruments**". This means that the driver is correctly installed. Then click on the "Close" button
