Adam, I ordered the RS-232 to USB adaptor board from Digikey. It didn't come with any software or instructions. My question is do I need any drivers for this board on Windows 7 (64-bit) and do I need to change any jumpers on the board to allow it to work with RTD Explorer?

Michael, in using the two resistors to fool the controller into thinking it is getting a signal, do I connect the current sensor to the controller up and once powered on connect the voltage divider or is the controller powered up and the voltage divider connected to simulate the current. Also, do I need to connect the throttle pot?

Thanks guys!
You should just be able to plug it in. If not, you can get the driver here:

Virtual COM Port Drivers
