Configuration Options

It is recommended that you first configure the software to ensure that the communications port that the ThermoCheck is connected to matches the communications port that the software communicates with. The default is the first serial communications port, COM1.

You can change the communications port setting by selecting Options from the Edit menu. This will launch the Options dialog box. You can now select the appropriate port from the drop-down list ThermoCheck, in the Communications tab. If you do not know which communications port to use, contact your network administrator or computer vendor.

There are other options available in this dialog box:

On the File tab:

Recently used file list. If this option is enabled, a list of the most recently used files will be included in the file menu, allowing you to quickly load recently used files. You can specify how many files to display in the list by changing the value in the box labelled entries.

On the Views tab:

Confirm when Deleting Entries. If this option is enabled, you will be asked to confirm the deletion of entries in a database window, for example products or users. If not enabled, items will be deleted immediately, without confirmation. For more information about database windows and entries, see Chapter 3, Setting Up a Database.
