This application note gives detailed installation instructions for PCs using Windows 10, Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP operating systems. The OneWireViewer and 1-Wire drivers work with Windows ® 10,Windows 7, and older Windows versions. Both OneWireViewer and the required 1-Wire ® drivers are bundled together and available for free download. The OneWireViewer requires additional software drivers to allow the PC to communicate with the adapter. We suggest obtaining the JRE from Oracle ®, AdoptOpenJDK, or another preferred vendor. (The Getting started section discusses limitations when writing to EPROM-based iButtons.) The PC must have Java ® JRE installed.

The OneWireViewer is a convenient demonstration software program that allows users to easily read from and write to iButtons with a Windows-based PC that has a USB port.

Maxim's iButton ® products are designed so that a personal computer (PC) can easily read from or write to an iButton device. The guide identifies all the necessary hardware and gives step-by-step instructions for connecting the hardware and installing the software, which includes the OneWireViewer demonstration program. It enumerates the steps for quick setup of hardware and software to evaluate iButton ® devices with a personal computer and Microsoft ® Windows ®. This application note is a Quick Start Guide.
