SECTION 2: GETTING STARTED
The Win-Situ application window appears. A new, empty site called
“Home” is displayed at the top of the Navigation tree on the left side of
the screen.
STEP 3: ADD A CONNECTION TO THE “HOME” SITE
A connection is simply a COM port on your computer. The Connection
Wizard asks a few questions to help you specify the properties of this
connection, including—
• Connection Type: To connect to an In-Situ data logging device
attached to the COM port, select “direct” connection. For other
types, see “About the Connection Wizard” on page 7.
• Connection Strategy: One device or more than one.
• Communications Port: The COM port (RS232 serial port) to
which the device is attached.
• Connection Speed: Baud rate for communications.
• Name (optional): A default connection name is suggested.
• To have the wizard connect automatically to the attached device,
be sure the option Connect and find devices on “Finish” is
checked.
STEP 4: CONNECT

requested
Win-Situ to

find devices,

step 3.

manually, click

button.

will happen:
