# 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>

### 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.
