Communication Setup

MultiLogPRO communicates with the MultiLab software via a serial or USB
communication port. Some users may find it difficult to select the correct port, in
which case MultiLab can perform an automatic port selection, and can also report on
the status of all available ports.
Automatic COM Port recognition
The computer may have several communication ports. One of these ports is usually
available for external communication. It is not necessary to know which port is
available, since MultiLab will find it for you:
1. Connect the communication cable from data logger to one of the
computer COM port connectors.
2. Turn on the data logger and open the MultiLab software.
MultiLab automatically attempts to communicate with the data logger. Once
communication is established, MultiLab reports the connection in the status bar at the
bottom of the application window.
