Once the ANT USB stick has been successfully installed, it should be listed on the Device Manager as a Universal Serial Bus controller. Full instructions for installing the drivers for the USB stick are available in the "ANT Development Kit User Manual" If using the USB Interface Board (UIF) and an ANT module, you will need the drivers for USB1. The type of the USB stick(USB1/USB2) is printed on the dongle itself.

Make sure you install drivers that match the type of USB stick you are using. Otherwise Windows drivers for the ANT USB1 and USB2 sticks can be found under Software Tools on the downloads page on the website.

Instead, please install the ANT MacOSX Library Package with Source Code. If you are using a Mac, then you do not need to install any drivers for the ANT USB sticks.
