Checking the Communications Port
The WeatherLink software includes a procedure for testing the communi-
cations port to which your station is connected. Using the Test command
will help you determine whether the communications port or the data log-
ger is causing a communication problem.
1. Select
Communications Configuration
from the
Setup
menu.
The
Communications Configuration
window displays.
2. In the upper drop-down list of the
Port
section of the window, select
the port you want to test.
The port shown in the pull-down list should be “SLAB_USBtoUART.”
3. Click
Test
.
The software searches all standard USB ports and should display a
Please Note
window stating the COM port at which the USB connector
is located.
4. If WeatherLink cannot find the USB connector at any COM port, an
error message displays, stating “No station could be found.”
If this error message window displays, contact Davis Technical Support
(see “Contacting Davis Technical Support” on page 9 for more informa-
tion).
