1. If you are planning to install the GF-166 module into a
GoFlight rack enclosure, install the module in any desired
location in the enclosure. Fasten the module in place using
the two thumbscrews that are included in the GF-166
packaging being careful not to over-tighten them.
2. Plug the USB cable “B” connector end (square) into the
connector on the back of the GF-166 circuit board.
3. Plug the USB cable “A” connector end (rectangular) to a USB port on your computer or USB hub. Once
the operating system recognizes the GF-166, you will see the GF-166’s “wakeup” sequence. The LED
displays will animate a sliding message that reads “GF” in the left-hand display and “166” in the righthand
display, which will appear for a short time and then disappear. The left and right function LEDs will
then briefly flash on and then off. This sequence will repeat any time you disconnect and re-connect the
module, and each time you start up your computer. It indicates that the GF-166 has been detected by
your computer and is ready to use.
4. After you install the GoFlight software and connect the
GF-166 for the first time, run the GF-Config program,
which is located in your Programs menu under “GoFlight”.
Verify that GF-Config displays an icon representing the
GF-166 unit on the left-hand side of the window. Click on
the GF-166 icon to show the configuration options in the
right-hand side of the window.
Selecting the GF-166 device icon in the Device View.
