Enter the following parameters and then press the Next button:

• Pump Name (required): The name that will be shown when the pump

is referenced within the rest of the application’s functionalities.

Pump names must be unique so that two different pumps (that
is, two pumps with different connection details) do not have the

same name.

• Pump Serial Number (optional): The serial number that will be

assigned to the defined pump. The default pump serial number for
new pumps is empty.

• COM Port (required): The communications serial port to which the

pump is currently connected. The COM port list contains all the
available COM ports within the computer (including those simulated
with a USB adapter). The default COM port for new pumps is the
latest selected or the first COM port available (if no COM port was
selected previously).

To locate your COM port: go to the Windows® Start menu and

select Settings/Control Panel/System/Hardware/Device
Manager/Ports (Com and LPT). The ports currently being

used by external devices will be listed.

If no COM ports are available within the computer, a warning

message is shown and the assistant will not finish the process.

• Pressing the Configure button opens a ComPort Configuration

window allowing you to manually set the baud rate used for that
serial port.

If the new communications parameters are accepted and the
selected COM port is used by other pumps already defined,
the application warns you that the new parameters could affect

other pumps.

An automatic baud rate detector tool is provided by Adagio to
facilitate the task of configuring the communication settings. This tool
is activated when the option “Try to detect baud rate if default fails”
is checked.
