Drivers
For using the devices GSV-2TSD-DI, GSV-3USB, GSV-4USB a "FTDI VCP" driver is required. With Windows 7 and above, normally that one is part of the known standard drivers.

The devices GSV-2MSD-DI and GSV-8 need the same driver:
https://www.me-systeme.de/setup/driver/usb/gsv-8/setupBX8driver.exe
Install that setup first, with the device not connected yet. Then, connect the device and wait, until all drivers are properly installed and a message appears saying that the device is ready for using (Windows 7) or a driver setup progress bar disappears (Windows 10).
That message may inform you about the COM-port number assigned (Windows 7). Otherwise, you can find it out by clicking Settings -> Devices -> Connected devices (Windows 10).
