Where is my panel?

My panel isn't shown in DCSFP!

Possible reasons :

  • panel is broken
  • you are not using a powered USB hub
  • manufacturer has released new panel model having new Product ID (PID)
  • panel is not supported (see homepage for supported panels)

Troubleshooting

Go to Windows Device Manager, open "Human Interface Devices".

Now unplug / plugin your device to see if you can see an entry being added removed / added to the list.

If no device is removed / added it is highly likely the panel is broken.
