USB2VGA Adapter (Trigger-II External Display) driver / software for my iMac

I have a USB to VGA adapter. I can use that adapter on my windows PC without any problem. It is plug and play in windows (windows 10 can install it automatically on plugging the device). But I am unable to find a suitable software / driver for that adapter to use it on my iMac (model late 2013). Can you please help me to find a suitable driver / software to make my device running on my iMac.

Any help would be appreciated.

their site says

View full OS compatibility

Windows® 10 (32/64)

Windows 8 / 8.1 (32/64)

Windows 7(32/64)

Windows Vista (32/64)

Windows XP (32/64)

under support there is only

Drivers

[Trigger MCT] USB Display Adapter.zip
Version: 18.02.0810.3679
Language: English

the windows driver

unless they use a generic chip which other manufacturers made a mac driver for then I doubt you will get it to work

What is the model of the adapter? I'm surprised you need to install anything to make it works on macOS. What make you think you need one?

Thanks for your prompt responses. I was hopeful that this particular device will work on this iMac because in "System Information", this device is recognized as "Trigger II External Graphics" (screenshot attached), so I thought there might be some software related issues that it is not giving the display.
