5.Import Report: The LPV spreadsheet’s first step is to automatically assign a COM (serial) port to your USB connection and detect the LPV tester. The COM port number selected is displayed in the window (1 through 9 is accept- able). The "Import Reading" button will only be enabled if a LPV tester is detected. If Detect Testers does not work, it will respond with the error message “No Network Testers found.”
Verify the tester's power is ON and try again. If the problem still persists, see “Error messages” below.

First check the connections: Is the USB cable firmly connect- ed? Is Excel macro security set to low? Is the LPV powered ON?
