Why is my USB pressure measuring plate not recognised (driver installation)?
Error description
Windows does not recognise the USB pressure measuring plate, so pressure measurement with the GP Manager is not possible.
Cause of error
It may either be that the driver for the pressure measuring plate is not installed or that there is an error in the hardware. If you have an MS4 USB pressure plate, another source of error is that the ceDeviceDetectionService has not been started.
Troubleshooting
Check whether the correct Power supply unit is connected. Also check the USB cable. Also pay attention to possible Damage of the cables. Check both cables to ensure that the plugs are inserted correctly. Have you ensured that the cables are correctly connected and visually OK?
Next, check whether the pressure measuring plate is correctly installed under Windows.
