1. Select
USB
in the
Communications Port
dialog box for direct
USB connection. (That
is, if you have a USB
data logger and you are
not using any third-party
applications.)
2. When the
USB
button is selected,
the
USB
Connection
dialog
box displays. Click
OK
Note:
If you have a USB data logger and want to use it with third party software, you will need
to set up your data logger so that it emulates a COM port connection. You should click
Cancel
, then follow the instructions for a WeatherLinkSER connection. See
Once the data logger has been set up as USB direct, it cannot be easily converted to
emulate a serial port connection within the software. A utility is included with the
WeatherLink software that allows you to convert it from a direct USB data logger to a
USB data logger that emulates the COM port. To use this utility, select
CP210X to Serial
Converter
in your WeatherLink program group on the Start menu of your computer
(Start>AllPrograms>WeatherLink>CP210X to Serial Converter) and run the utility to
convert your data logger back to emulate a COM port. Please contact Davis Technical
Support (“See “Contacting Davis Technical Support” on page 17) for more information.
