Connecting the serial or USB cable to PC

The connectors for the serial (RS232) communications ports typically look like
the following picture.
Serial (RS232) communication ports can be typically
found at the rear of the computer. Most serial
connectors will have screws included on the plug and
we recommend that these are tightened when the
connector is plugged in so that it does not accidentally
pull out during use.
Some of the more common USB connectors are
pictured below.
Connectors for USB devices and the sockets on the computer where USB devices are plugged in will often display a USB logo
nearby to help them be identified.
The sockets for the USB communication ports are typically located at the rear of the computer. In some computers there may
also be two or more USB communication ports located on a front panel of the computer and/or on the top of the computer
case. Please ensure that the driver software has been installed prior to connecting the USB cable.
If the computer is using the Windows NT® operating system, a USB cable will not be able to be used, as Windows NT® does
not support USB devices.
Important notes:
Ensure to select manual the COM port before download and program the unit

If using USB to serial adaptor the COM port # will be COM3 or higher

