A sub-menu will appear listing the
software available communication
ports. If the IFC200 installation
was successful and the device is
plugged into the computer, the
menu option of USB1 should
appear. If multiple IFC200 devices
are plugged into the same PC,
they will all be listed in this menu
as USB1, USB2, USB3, ... etc. Use
this menu to select the proper
device.
E As with the standard COM port
the IFC200 must be configured to
communicate at the proper baud
rate. The IFC200 can be
configured to work with most
MadgeTech Data Loggers by
selecting the proper baud rate in
the software. The baud rate will
be dependent on the baud rate of
the device connected to the host
computer. For example, a
Temp101 communicates at 2400
baud, so 2400 baud must be
selected from the
Communication menu.
