Use the Serial Port Settings dialog box to select the correct COM port and

baud rate to communicate to the streaming data logger. The correct baud

rate will be the one set in your Vantage Console, and in WeatherLink. The

default value is 19,200 baud. You may manually set the COM port setting

or use the Auto Detect button to automatically find where your streaming
