The StudioX software bundle includes the old MICROBEAST update tool which is now called "BEASTX Updater Classic".

You can find the BEASTX Updater Classic in the BEASTX programm group in your Windows START menu.

'''4. Manual installation of USB2SYS interface driver'''

First of all make sure the USB2SYS interface is disconnected from the computer. Then start the StudioX Software and click the download link for the USB2SYS driver package:

  −
<br />
  −
Your web browser will open and ask to save the file "CP210x_VCP_Windows.zip" or will save it automatically. Open the downloaded zip-file from the folder where it has been saved to and extract the content of the file to your harddisk (here we directly extract it to drive C:). Go to the extracted folder and start one of the included setup files (if you have a 64-bit Windows use the "CP210xVCPInstaller_x64.exe", if you have a 32-bit system use CP210xVCPInstaller_x86.exe).
