Automatic COM Port recognition

The PC has 6 communication ports, COM-1 to COM-6. One of these
ports is usually available for external communication. It is not
necessary to know which port is available, since

EcoLab can detect

it for you.

Connect the communication cable from EcoLog to one of the PC
COM Port connectors. In most cases, the port connectors are located
near the mouse port. Use the 9 25 adaptor if the PC connector is of
the 25 pins variety.
Turn on EcoLog and run the EcoLab software. EcoLab will
automatically attempt to communicate with the data logger. If
communication is achieved, the selected port becomes designated as
EcoLog
