Drivers and OS Compatibility

Windows​

ScanaStudio V6 does not bundle device drivers. Install the Ikalogic USB driver package once, before connecting the device. It is the only Ikalogic installer that needs administrator rights: ScanaStudio itself installs per-user and never prompts for UAC.

Windows Compatibility:
Supported on Windows 7 through Windows 11

SP1000G USB Architecture​

If you need to check or repair a driver in Device Manager, it's important to understand that an SP1000G device enumerates on your system as a HUB, containing several devices:

  • SP1000G Controller device
  • SP1000G Core device(s) – each group of 18 channels appears as a separate Core device
    (e.g. SP1036G will show 2 Core devices, SP1054G will show 3)

The Core devices use FTDI’s D3XX driver. If a Core device still shows a warning in Device Manager after running the Ikalogic driver installer, install the D3XX driver directly from FTDI:

Linux and macOS​

No drivers are needed on Linux or macOS. Devices work out of the box.

On Linux, the device is visible but not openable until the udev rules are installed. The ScanaStudio .deb, .rpm and the tarball's install.sh all place 60-ikalogic.rules in /etc/udev/rules.d for you. If the device shows up but refuses to open, the installer was run without root or with --no-udev: re-run it, or reload the rules by hand:

sudo udevadm control --reload-rules && sudo udevadm trigger

See Linux: device permissions for details.
