3.2.3 Select COM Port
Dynamic C uses a COM (serial) port to communicate with the target development system.
The installation allows you to choose the COM port that will be used.
The default selection, as shown in the example above, is COM1. You may select any avail-
able port for Dynamic C’s use. If you are not certain which port is available, select COM1.
This selection can be changed later within Dynamic C.
NOTE: The installation utility does not check the selected COM port in any way. Speci-
fying a port in use by another device (mouse, modem, etc.) may lead to a message such
as
"could not open serial port"
when Dynamic C is started.
3.2.4 Desktop Icons
Once your installation is complete, you will have up to three icons on your PC desktop, as
shown below.
One icon is for Dynamic C, one opens the documentation menu, and the third is for the
Rabbit Field Utility, a tool used to download precompiled software to a target system.
