We've had a couple of calls from customers who had just received our cable and had the latest version of the OneTouch® Software (version 2.3.2) already installed and had trouble getting the software to recognize the cable and meter.  Lifescan has added an extra cable driver package that must be downloaded and installed as well as the management software. They state is is only for the newer UltraLink®, UltraMini® (with data port) and Select meters, but it appears is is necessary for all of the meters. The additional meter driver software can be downloaded here.

We have not gotten our hands on an UltraMini® (with data port) or Select meter yet to test. We will post a definitive result when we get it here first.

We are also currently working on adapting the cable to the Abbott Freestyle series of meters and the Bayer Breeze2 and Contour meters for use with their respective software.  We are also on the lookout for a good, low cost and Windows VIsta compatible IR to USB adapter for use with the Roche Accu-Chek® and similar models with IRda data ports. If you know of one or have tried one let us know.
