Port selection

The PCS45 application scans the computer hardware for connected PCL45USB immediately after launching and every time when this option is activated, selecting automatically the correct port.

If the PCL45 PC-link is used, this option allows you to configure the serial port.

To achieve this, choose Options, Port selection menus and then select port from COM1 to COM8.  The software detects which serial ports are available, but it is up to the user to ensure the correct serial port is being used.  Note: Care has also to be taken to ensure the data lines can supply ± 8V @ 3mA, to the PC-link PCL45.

The application may operate in Demo mode.  This mode maintains all the functionality of the software but doesn’t require a connection to the converter.
