If using a laptop, please make sure that the power cable/DC power supply are
located as far as possible away from the communication cable.
2.
Make sure that no electrical devices/power sources are close to the
communication cable.

If a Device Error is reported upon connection, please check if the SeaStar
program has been opened more than once. This error can also occur if a
different program is open and is using the same communication port as
SeaStar.
Defining the Com Port for USB Serial Converter
The easiest way to find the correct Com Port is to use the Connection Wizard which
can be found under the Wizards menu in the software.
The wizard will display all the com ports available. Plug in the USB cable and the
selected com port will turn green.
