COM port identification
How to identify which COM port the PI Configurator Interface Cable (PI CIC)
is using
When you use the PI Configurator utility with the PI Configurator Interface Cable
(CIC), the computer will automatically assign a COM port. If you change the physical
USB socket you use, or if you use other USB devices in the same USB port, the
operating system may assign a different COM port the next time you wish to use the PI
Configurator Interface Cable (CIC). Since the PI Configurator application requires you to
identify which COM port you use, you may need to investigate this.
