Once the file is created, double-click it to open the file in Windows Notepad and enter “DataPortBaud=9600” as shown in Figure 1.4. This tells the SDR2-USB to communicate with your data source at 9600 baud. The baud rate for your serial data source may differ from 9600 bps.

Close Windows Notepad, then right-click the USB device’s drive letter and click “Eject” to safely remove the device from your system.

Insert the USB device into the SDR2-USB, connect your serial data source to the DB9M connector, and connect power. The SDR2-USB will display a left-to-right-to-left flashing sequence. If your data source is outputting data, the front panel “data” indicator will flash as data arrives.
