Communication Port Settings
Note that if using a USB port, plug in the USB cable before starting
the Levelogger Software. Once the user starts the program, they can set up
the parameters for the Software. Choose the Com Port Setting from the
Configuration menu to set up the RS232 or USB communication port for
the computer. Figure 4-1 shows the Application Setting Window.
In the Com Port Selection field, select the communication port that is
connected to the Levelogger by clicking the drop down list. The program
automatically detects the available Com ports on your computer. If using an
RS232 serial port (9-pin male DB9 Com port), identify the Com port number
and select it in the Com Port Selection window.
Note that you may have to restart your computer after adding a new
USB device, before that port will be detected by the Levelogger Software.

4.1 Communicating with a USB Port

USB port communication requires the installation of USB driver software and
the setting up of a Virtual Com port. If communicating via a USB port, the
user will either:
1) connect a Levelogger Optical Reader or PC Interface Cable to the USB port
2) use a USB to RS232 Adapter
If 1) during the installation of Levelogger V3.2.3 or higher Software, the
virtual com port driver will be installed automatically.
Version 3.2.3 or higher Software Installation Wizard also copies a folder to
the Levelogger 3 folder containing all the Solinst USB drivers. When you
plug in the Solinst USB device, check the com port designation.
