Automatic COM Port recognition
The PC has 6 communication ports, COM-1 to COM-6. One of these ports is
usually available for external communication. It is not necessary to know
which port is available, since
EcoLab can detect it for you.
Connect the communication cable from EcoLog XL to one of the PC COM
Port connectors. In most cases, the port connectors are located near the
mouse port. Use the 9 to 25 adaptor if the PC connector is of the 25 pins
variety.
If EcoLog XL is collecting data, click
Stop
to end collecting and to
return to the main menu. Run the EcoLab software. EcoLab will
automatically attempt to communicate with the data logger. If communication
is achieved, the selected port becomes designated as EcoLog XL

If communication fails:

from the

menu. EcoLab will
display a dialog box reporting what COM Ports are already
