Using the CC-2 cable and the YZ-T programming software on a PC, the user can set up the YZ-T tool, view trace data, and save data from the tool.
Note: The CC-2 cable is different than the CC-1 cable that is used to program a YZ-T tool with a PC-1

How to load the USB driver:
Your PC may not recognize the tool and you will have to install a driver to get it to work correctly.
The Driver can be found in the 'CDM-2.08.28-WHQL-Certified1.zip' file attached to this article.
- Download the driver file and extract it to your hard driver where you can find it
- You first need to uninstall the incorrect drivers on your computer. In Windows, go to Control Panel then to Device Manager
- Now press the delete button on your computer and it will ask for confirmation.
- Collapse the Ports menu and now click on the USB controller at the bottom of the list.
- Now you need to uninstall the existing USB Serial Converter.
- Disconnect the USB cable from your PC
- A new yellow flagged item will appear FT232R USB UART
- Right Click on FT232R USB UART
- Select Update Driver Software
- Now you need to find where you extracted the drivers from the file you downloaded above and point the software to the directory.
- The driver software for USB Serial Converter has been installed
- The USB Serial Convertor is now installed. Next you have to install the port. If you are old enough to remember software modems then you will recall that it was done in the same manner.
- The yellow flagged item will have changed name to USB Serial Port
- Right Click on USB Serial Port
- Select Update Driver Software
- The driver software for the Port is in the same directory where you had the other drivers which you had just installed.
- The Serial Port will now install and that will be the final installation. There should be no yellow flags any more and you should now be able to connect to the tool with the procedure in the video above.
