Finding the Correct Serial Port
The configuration software includes a procedure for locating the serial port to
which your streaming data logger is connected or determining whether that
serial port is working.
Note: Using the Auto Detect command in WeatherLink
®
can help you locate
the serial port. The Loopback command will help you determine whether the
serial port is functioning. Consult the WeatherLink
®
for Vantage Pro™
Getting Started Guide and on-line Help files for more information.
Use the Serial Port Settings dialog box to select the correct COM port and
baud rate to communicate to the streaming data logger. The correct baud rate
will be the one set in your Vantage Console, and in WeatherLink. The
default value is 19200 baud. You may manually set the COM port setting or
use the Auto Detect button to automatically find where your streaming data
logger is connected.
Note: If you have more than one streaming data logger connected to your
system, it is highly recommended that you manually set the com port and
baud rate.
