USB Driver Updates. Need USB Driver Downloads for Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7, Vista and XP?If you are having problems with your USB not working, read the article below to help fix your USB problems.USB issues often, but not always, relate to drivers problems.
The X-Rite Download Support page lists both active and discontinued product support pages. If the hardware device has a USB interface connection and is connected to a USB computer port, the computer needs to have a device driver installed (unless it is a USB HID device; see below). The device driver tells the computer how to properly handle data communications between the computer and the hardware USB device. Download Driver Pack. Added the ability to restart X-Rite Device Services directly from the i1Profiler application. This will help users restore their connection to a measurement device without restarting their system. Made the i1Profiler and i1Profiler Tray applications 64-bit native to.
i1Pro Required Device Driver
- X-Rite i1Pro driver, available as part of CalMAN Device Driver Pack.
Important: CalMAN does not require the installation of any X-Rite software The X-Rite i1Profiler software captures the meter (X-Rite services) and prevents other software from connecting to the meter. If you have installed the i1Profiler software, you will need to uninstall it before connecting CalMAN to the i1Pro.
Device Driver Installation
- Download the Device Driver Pack from the Downloads page on the SpectraCal website, or from this link
- Select Run from the download prompt or double-click on the Device Drivers Pack .msi file to install the device driver pack.
Install the i1Pro and i1Pro 2 driver
- When you plug in your i1Pro, Windows will pop up a Found New Hardware wizard. To the prompt 'What do you want the Wizard to do,' select the option, 'Install from a list or specific location.' Use the Browse button to locate the directory where you installed the Device Driver Kit, then select the i1Pro directory.
- The typical i1Pro driver location will be:
- Windows 64-bit: C:/Program Files/Spectracal/Drivers/i1Pro
- Windows 32-bit: C:/Program Files(x86)/Spectracal/Drivers/i1Pro
- The typical i1Pro driver location will be:
Note: Windows 7 does not prompt for driver installation when a device is first attached. To install the driver, go to Start/Control Panel, select System and then select Device Manager on the left-hand side of the System Properties window.
USB Power for i1Pro and i1Pro 2
The i1Pro is a USB 1.1 high power device that draws a substantial amount of current from a USB port (500ma @ 5V). Unpowered USB hubs and some USB ports do not supply enough current, and some USB extension cables may limit the current. This may result in no operation or unpredictable i1Pro operation.
IMPORTANT: Before trying to use a USB hub or extension cable, first verify proper operation with your i1Pro connected directly to your computer USB port. If the i1Pro does not function properly, try another USB port or a powered USB hub.
Meter and Base Plate
Each i1Pro is uniquely paired with its own numbered calibration base plate. They should remain together. At the tip of the base plate is a white tile of standard reference material. The i1Pro was calibrated at the factory to this reference material. Should you ever need to run the i1Pro diagnostics, it will expect the same reference tile.
You can also use the base plate to initialize the i1Pro each time you start using it with CalMAN.
Suspension Strap and Tripod Holder
A suspension strap is supplied for hanging an i1Pro on a display.
For most applications, we instead recommend the tripod holder. Slide the two prongs on the tripod holder into the two holes on the bottom of the i1Pro, and wrap the attached Velcro strap around the i1Pro to secure it.
Ambient Filter
Install Usb Device Windows 10
A small black box is supplied with the i1Pro that contains the meter’s matched ambient filter (diffuser). Note that there are actually two pieces inside the black box; the filter and a cap. The filter is inside the cap.
To install the ambient filter on your i1Pro, snap the cap on the meter head, rotate slightly, and pull the cap directly off. The filter will remain on the meter. Use the filter when measuring ambient light or for measuring directly from a projector.
To switch CalMAN to using “Lux” measurement units while using the ambient filter, go to Settings > Application Preferences > Measurement Units.
CalMAN Connection to i1Pro and i1Pro 2
- On the CalMAN Meter Settings page, click Find Meter.
- On the Find Meters popup dialog:
- Leave Com Port set to Auto.
- Leave Meter Search Options set to its default selection.
- Click Search.
Initializing the i1Pro and i1Pro 2
Each time you start CalMAN, and after 10 minutes of use, you will need to initialize the i1Pro. This is indicated by a timer icon on the Meter Settings tab that indicates the minutes remaining before meter initialization is required.
Click on the timer icon to open the meter initialize screen and follow the prompts. The i1Pro initialization is a dark level calibration that depends on blocking light from entering the light aperture. Placing the i1Pro on its baseplate accomplishes this.

This article helps to fix an issue in which Windows 10 doesn't install specific drivers for USB audio devices on the first connection.
Original product version: Windows 10, version 1703
Original KB number: 4021854
Symptom
When you connect a USB audio device to a Windows 10 Version 1703-based computer the first time, the operating system detects the device but loads the standard USB audio 2.0 driver (usbaudio2.sys) instead of the specific device driver.
Cause
This issue occurs because the USB audio 2.0 driver (usbaudio2.sys) isn't classified as a generic driver in Windows 10 Version 1703. Therefore, the system assumes that a compatible, nongeneric driver is installed for the device even though the driver is generic.
This issue also causes Windows 10 Version 1703 to postpone the search for other compatible drivers through Windows Update that typically occurs immediately after you install a new device.
Resolution
To fix this issue, use one of the following methods.
Method 1
To resolve this issue, install update 4022716.
Method 2
If the device-specific driver is distributed through Windows Update, you can manually update the driver by using Device Manager. For more information about how to do this, see update drivers in Windows 10.
Method 3
If the device is not yet connected, first install the device-specific driver, such as by using the appropriate installer. After the device-specific driver is installed, Windows 10 will select that driver instead of the standard USB audio 2.0 driver when you first connect the device.
Note
See the device manufacturer's user guide for specific instructions about how to install the driver.
Method 4
If the driver isn't distributed through Windows Update, you can manually reinstall the driver. To do this, follow these steps:
- Install the device-specific driver (see Method 2).
- Open Device Manager.
- Right-click (or tap and hold) the name of the device, and then select Uninstall.
- Restart the computer.

When it restarts, Windows will try to reinstall the device by using the device-specific driver.
