Com Port
To change the communication port for the Smart-Trak 2, click on this feature. Use
the pull down menu to choose the Comm Port that your Smart-Trak 2’s serial
connector is plugged into. Remember that the software asks you to confirm your
Comm Port every time you re-start. This feature is designed for situations when you
have multiple Comm Ports available and you wish to move the Smart-Trak 2 from
one to another or you are controlling more than one Smart-Trak 2 at one time.
Read Controller Parameters
Use this function if you believe your computer and your Smart-Trak 2 instrument
may have stopped communicating. It is essentially a re-boot command for the
Smart-Trak 2 microprocessor. When you switch Comm Ports, it is recommended
that you use this function. If your computer requires a re-boot and you do not
unplug your Smart-Trak 2, the communication link will be broken. Use this
function to re-establish communication. If at any time, the instrument does not
appear to be sending correct information to the Smart-Trak 2 software, try this
command to ensure communication.
