Questions and answers
I have a Digitilt Datamate ll. When I connect the USB cable to download to the computer, it no longer seems to connect. Just says waiting for PC
If a SLOPE INDICATOR DataMate Digitilt II shows "Waiting for PC" when connected via USB, follow these steps:
1. Check if the DataMate briefly displays “Linked to PC.” If it does and then returns to “Waiting for PC,” the cable may be faulty.
2. Open the comm menu in DigiPro 2 or DMM software to view available comm ports.
3. Select a different comm port, preferably the one with the highest number if using a serial-to-USB adapter.
4. The software may remember the wrong comm port if different DataMates use different cables. Manually select the correct comm port in the comm menu.
5. Verify that the USB driver is working:
- Turn off the DataMate (leave USB cable connected).
- Open and check the comm menu in the software for port numbers.
- Close the menu, then turn on the DataMate and connect the USB cable if disconnected.
These steps help ensure proper communication between the DataMate and PC.
