7.1 Data download difficulties

If difficulties are encountered downloading the logger data : -

●

Check that the flowmeter is switched on and not in measurement mode.

●

Check that the same number COM port is allocated in the “Device
Manager” (or equivalent) as is set in the software.

●

Check that the settings (baud, parity, word length, stop bits) are identical.

●

Use the supplied connectors – whether connecting to a 9-pin COM port or
converting from serial communication to a Universal Serial Bus (USB).

●

Is the logger in "Wrap" mode? If "yes", use a terminal program and the
"Log download" command. If "No", software may also be used.
