Designating COM Port Number
The COM Port number for CLE1000 is automatically assigned by the system. You can
always designate your desired number at property setting of the driver.
 Start Device Manager and double click the "Variable ISI Channel"
under Ports(COM & LTP)
 Go to "Port Setting" Tab and click "Advanced".
 Change the COM Port Number.

Control from Other Operating System
The operation under the operating system rather than MS-Windows 7 and 8 is not
guaranteed, however the following information is disclosed for user convenience.
CLE1200 communicates with a remote host via USB interface. USBCDC Class is applied
and handled as RS232C serial interface. CLE1000 constructs USB I/F without FTDI part,
but it complies the standard USB Communications Device Class. The Communications
Device Class is not OS dependent and other operation system such as Linux has drivers
comply to it.
