Communications Port

The Communications Port dialog box lets you manually select the port connection that is used to communicate with your CarChip data logger. This command can be accessed from the Walkthrough Setup or the Setup menu.

2.Select one of the listed ports or enter the name of the desired port.

Select USB if the CarChip is connected to a USB port. Select one of the available COM ports if the CarChip is connected to a Serial or COM port, or type in the name of the COM port if it is not on the available list.

3.Click OK to save the new port selection, or click Cancel to exit the dialog box and retain the previous port selection.
