The information in this document applies to first time users of RB-530, RB-730, RB-830, and RB-834 response pads models using using Mac OS 8 or 9, with USB support.
Connecting your response pad is straightforward. Only the USB cable (included with the pad) needs to be connected to your computer. No separate power supply is necessary.
•
Insert one side of the USB cable into the response pad.
•
Insert the other side of the USB cable into any available USB port on your computer. A few seconds later, the Mac will display an alert (message) informing you that the driver for this device is not installed.
There is a green LED to the left of the USB connector; it should turn On after the response pad is connected.
Click on the following link to begin the download:
Download the USB driver [23 KB]
(Unfortunately, this file is no longer available.)
The download consists of a single BinHex file. Usually, your Internet browser will automatically convert the file from its BinHex form to its original form. If it does not, there are several free utility programs on the market to convert the file. One such program is StuffIt Expander found at StuffIt.com.
Once the download and conversion from BinHex format is complete, you should have a Mac extension file named “USB Cedrus RB Series Resp. Pad” on your hard disk. Follow these steps:
•
Make sure that your System Folder is visible.
•
Click on the file “USB Cedrus RB Series Resp. Pad” once to select it, and then drag it into the System Folder (i.e., move it over to the System Folder until the folder becomes highlighted, and then release the mouse button).
•
Mac OS will display the following alert:
This item needs to be stored in the Extensions folder in order to be available to the computer. Put “USB Cedrus RB Series Resp. Pad” into the Extensions folder?
Click on OK.
•
Restart your computer.
After the Mac has restarted, you will get another alert from Mac OS if the installation was not successful. Otherwise, the installation is complete.
The Cedrus USB driver also requires an additional extension file named “SerialShimLib”. This is an Apple-supplied library. To find out if it is installed on your computer:
•
Open the System Folder
•
Open the Extensions folder
The “SerialShimLib” file should be inside your Extensions folder. If it’s not, visit Apple’s website for support.
