want to establish a connection to your instrument. If

you are using a USB TROLL Com, select the correct

should default to the correct COM port, which is

usually COM 1.

b. Click the Windows Start button, and open the

Control Panel.

c. Click Hardware and Sound, and open the

Device Manager.

and locate the USB Serial Port listing. The

number listed next to this entry is your COM

port address.

Control Panel.

LPT), and locate the USB Serial Port listing.

The number listed next to this entry is your

COM port address.

Once you have determined the correct Com port

address, reopen Win-Situ 5 and click on Preferences.

Click on Comm Settings, and then click the Port

Number menu. Scroll down to find the correct Com
