Figure 2.9 Instrument Configuration
Serial Port - It may be necessary to change this setting to accommodate
laptops being used with the M4100. The M4200c uses COM2, and laptops
usually use COM1. The “bits per second” setting should not be changed from
the default 9600.
USB Converter- If using a Serial to USB converter to utilize a USB port on
your laptop for connection to the M4100, check your PC settings to obtain the
comport that has been set by the converter. For Windows XP, go to the Start
button, select Control Panel/System (or alternately, right-click My Computer
and select Properties), then click Hardware and then Device Manager. Click
the plus sign next to Ports (Com & LPT) to see the comport assigned to your
converter.
