Port Menu

The Port Menu allows the user to select the COM Port that the device is connected to, either a parallel (LPT) Port, or a Hardware Serial or Virtual Serial Port via USB.

The Reconnect option allows the user to reconnect to a unit using the previously used settings. On open or reconnect, the SPI Motor Interface will also try to auto seek for a connected device.
