    For Windows 7 and later: The cable appears in Device Manager, in the subheading "Ports (COM and LTP)" under the name "PONSEL" "SENSLOG" or "SMARTLOG. If one of these terms does not appear, your cable has been installed incorrectly; in this case the software will need to be reinstalled.
  • Page 17: Pre-Cable Sensors And Digital Probes

    To use a digital probe on your Smartlog it absolutely must be equipped with a communication card RS485/Modbus. A visual inspection of the inside of the Smartlog also lets you know if your Smartlog is equipped with an RS485 card. To do this, remove the housing cover if your Smartlog contains two cards side by side, perpendicular to the motherboard of the Smartlog, the latter is fitted with a RS485 card, if there is only one card your Smartlog is not equipped to handle digital sensors.
