If you have specified a COM port, you will see the following screen where you

5. You should see the data displayed
both
on the TriCoder display and in
the test window on the PC. If you do not see the data displayed on
your PC, follow the
TriCoder Utilities
suggestions on the screen, check
your TriCoder Setup and try again. If you still have problems, go to the
Troubleshooting
section of this manual. Otherwise, you are ready to
move on with your data collection or custom programming.
