Direct Connection:

Important: This data logger supports an Auto Baud Rate Mode which
automatically detects the communication speed. However; this communication
software also supports loggers which may be programmed in a Fixed Baud Rate
Mode. This is useful in telemetry applications, particularly when using Global Water
data loggers with our Global Access radio modem software. The upcoming
discussion assumes that the logger is programmed in auto detect mode. If you
cannot connect to the logger and suspect that the logger may be using a fixed rate
mode; try each connection speed separately, especially 38400 which is required
when using the Global Access software. There are 3 ways to connect to the FL16
data Loggers, direct connection through the RS-232 serial port (FL16S only) or USB
port (FL16U only), as well as dial out through an installed modem (requires FL16S
only with external serial modem).
To make a direct connection to the logger, click the "Direct" option and from the
"Port" menu, select the port you wish to use.
For USB access (FL16U) select the USB serial port at the COM port the driver was
assigned, which is automatically shown in the list as "Global Logger USB Device".
