1. Before installing with the USB drive, make sure you have created or logged in to your Spectrasonics User Account and registered the serial number in your User Guide to your account. If you see your instrument next to “My Products” on the left-hand side, that means your instrument is already registered and you don’t need to add the serial to your account again.
