    Megger MIT Driver Installation Procedure (Windows 7)

    Before downloading test results to your PC from a Megger insulation tester you need to install the appropriate drivers. This guide is for users who are having trouble installing the driver through Megger Download Manager on Windows 7 or users who are using software other than Download Manager (such as PowerDB) to manage test data.

    The instrument used in this guide was a Megger MIT520 but this driver installation procedure should work for other test instruments as well.




    Step 1: Plug the instrument into your computer with the supplied USB cable. You should get an error message indicating that the driver software could not be installed.

    You should see a port number next to Megger Device, note this for configuring additional software to work with the test instrument.

    A note about PowerDB: The first time I started power db after installing the driver it took longer than usual to load. After getting impatient, I restarted my machine. The software loaded faster after a restart.
