To communicate with the Sciospec instrument over USB on Windows, you must install the `libusb` driver.
USB FS:
To communicate with the Sciospec instrument over USB FS on Windows, follow the Linux platform instructions, since they are the same.

USB HS:
To communicate with the Sciospec instrument over USB (HS) on Windows, you must install the `libusb` driver.

> [!WARNING]
> Installing the `libusb` driver will prevent the Sciospec instrument from working with the official Sciospec software on the selected USB port (`FS` or `HS`).
