Communications Tab
This tab sets various Communications preferences.
Autoconfigure Comm Port
Check this option to automatically configure the correct COM port in use to the host computer's .
Leave this item checked unless the software is having trouble identifying the host computer's COM
port (this happens rarely, usually only on older PCs). If this item is unchecked, the user must
configure the Comm settings manually. See Select Comm Port .
Autoconfigure Baud Rate
Check this option to automatically configure the correct communications speed. Leave this item
checked unless the software is having trouble identifying the host computer's COM port (this
happens rarely, usually only on older PCs). If this item is unchecked, the baud rate must be
configured manually. See Select Baud Rate .
Accept Wireless Input
Check this option to accept real time readings from the RF series of data loggers. To accept these
readings the computer must have an RFC101A interface cable connected to an available COM port
and the wireless RF logger or extender radios must be enabled to transmit.
Communications Redundancy
This refers to the number of times the PC will try to communicate with the logger. Setting the tab
closer to the left will decrease the number of times it will try to communicate and setting the tab
further to the right will increase the number of times it will try to communicate with the logger.
