Note that the COM port must be available—that is, not already assigned a piece
of hardware by the PC. You cannot simply disconnect a piece of hardware and
connect the cable. If there’s no COM port recognized as being available by the PC,
then you will need to make one accessible (consult your PC owner’s manual).

To avoid the possibility of electrical shock, power down both
MILLPWR and your PC before connecting the serial cable.
