About

information

The list of available COM ports will automatically be updated when the eZ430-RF2480 dongle is connected or disconnected. It is also possible to force refresh of the list by

clicking on the green “refresh” button .

4.2.Data capture

If the applicable COM port can be found when “refresh” has been clicked, the application will automatically try to capture data from the COM port. If communication is successfully

established, the “capture” button will be disabled and both the “Pause capture”

button and the “Stop capture” button will be enabled. If more than one device with the applicable COM port is connected to the PC, it could be that wrong COM port gets selected. In this case the first port in the list will be selected. If this was not the intended device to connect to, the appropriate COM port must be selected manually.

Using the “Stop capture” button will cause the nodes on display to be removed from the screen once the “Start capture” button is clicked. This differs from the “Pause capture” button which will maintain the nodes on the screen when the “Start capture” button is clicked.
