FTDI drivers can be found on the Special Note for ACP and Maxim D/L Users:
If you are using your Alnitak device with Maxim D/L as a simulated filter wheel, you may need to copy the FTD2XX.dll and FTD2XX_NET.dll from the Alnitak folder [default: C:\Program Files\Optec\Alnitak Astrosystems Controller\ or C:\Program Files(x86)\Optec\Alnitak Astrosystems Controller\ for 64-bit systems] to the Maxim D/L program folder to maintain functionality of the Flip-Flat as a filter wheel.
Contact Optec Technical Support if you encounter any problems after installing this software.
