displayed at the top of the screen. Ensure that the correct serial number is
displayed to verify that the proper command codes were sent and that the
serial port trigger is functioning properly. If the connection is not successful
or if there is no instrument attached, then the serial number area will be
blank or will display “99999.” If the modem loses its connection, wait at
least 1 minute before trying to establish another connection. This allows
the modem to reset itself.
