Communications
 The Communications tab page can be used to select a COM port of your PC to talk to the HR-4P unit. Once, the
preferred COM port is selected, pressing the Connect button either in this tab page or on the left of the Main screen
to make a serial connection.
 Since GUI communicates with the HR-4P‟s serial port at a fix baud rate of 19200, no parity, 1 stop bit, and 8 data
bits, those selections are fixed. The COM port is the only selection that needs to be set as shown in Figure 14.
