==Driver support for the USB-Prommer==

S5/S7 for Windows ® supports the '''libusb driver''' which allows the operation of the [http://www.ibhsoftec.com/USB-S5S7-Prommer-S-Eng Siemens USB-Prommer] (6ES7 792-0AA00-0XA0) under current operating systems. 
Depending on whether the original Siemens driver for the USB-Prommer is already installed on the PC, the libusb driver must be installed in two different ways.

===Check whether the Siemens USB-Prommer driver is installed ===

If the USB-Prommer is connected to the PC, check within the '''device manager''' whether the Siemens USB-Prommer driver is installed.

==Installation of the libusb driver '''with''' already installed Siemens driver==

In this case the  '''libusb-win32 filter driver''' must be installed. This allows a control of the USB prommer parallel to the already installed Siemens driver, without impairing its function.

After the  start of the Setup the option '''Install a device filter''' must be chosen.
