Connection
The PCTool software must be set to use the correct computer COM port to com-
municate with the BPM-E. The default port is COM 1. To change the Com port,
select Connection from the Menu bar, then select New. Choose the COM port
you want from the drop-down list in the dialog box then click OK (Figure 24,
page 37).
Note: The Connection menu also has a Close command. Choosing
the Close command will close (break) the COM port connection to the
computer.
For more information about the Connection screen features, refer to the help
section in the software (click on Help on the Menu bar).
