• When using USB connections, you must exit PM1D
Manager before you power-on/off the console/engine or
connect/disconnect cables. If you perform these actions
before exiting, communication may become impossible
until you restart your PC.
• USB connection is not guaranteed to be faster than serial
connection. Depending on your system, serial connection
may provide faster and more stable communication. If
you were able to use serial connection with previous ver-
sions, we recommend that you continue using serial con-
nection.
• When using a serial connection, only COM ports 1–9 are
supported.
