The Communication Menu
The Communication Menu displayed below:
Communication Menu: Auto Configure Port
Select Auto Configure Port from the Communication Menu to automatically indicate which
COM/USB port the device is attached and which baud rate the device uses to communicate. This
command operates only when an interface cable is connected to an available COM/USB port and a
functioning data logger. If this command fails to find the device, then the device is not
functioning properly or the interface cable is not properly connected. Once the software has
identified the COM/USB port and the proper baud rate, the information will be stored in the
configuration file. This command only needs to be activated once. If a different COM/USB port is
later used, or if a device with a different baud rate is used, then re-select the command.
Communication Menu: Select Comm Port
Select the Comm Port to manually set/choose the communication/USB port in which to connect the
data logger. The correct COM/USB port must be selected, or the software will not to communicate
with the data logger. To automatically configure this option, refer to Auto Configure Port.
Communication Menu: Select Baud Rate
Select the Baud Rate from the Communication Menu to manually set the speed to use to
communicate with the data logger. The correct baud rate must be selected, to allow the software to
communicate with the data logger. To automatically configure this option, refer to Auto Configure
Port .
Communication Menu: Accept Palm Input
This feature has been removed. Please contact Dwyer if you need this PDA feature.
Communication Menu: Accept Real Time Wireless Input
Select Accept Real Time Wireless Input from the Communication Menu causes the software to
accept real time readings from wireless transmitting devices. To accept these readings the computer
must have an RFC101A interface cable connected to an available COM port and the transmitter must
be enabled to transmit.
NOTE: The RFC101A has a baud rate of 4800. The user must manually configure this baud rate. See
Communication Menu: Select Baud Rate .
