Introduction
Provides an introduction to the EZSetup Wizard
along with instructions on how to navigate through
the wizard.
Datalogger Type and
Name
Select the CR800 from the list box.
Accept the default name of CR800.
COM Port Selection
Select the correct PC COM port for the serial
connection. Typically, this will be COM1, but
other COM numbers are possible, especially when
using a USB cable.
Leave COM Port Communication Delay at 00
seconds.
Note When using USB serial cables, the COM
number may change if the cable is moved to a
different USB port. This will prevent data transfer
between the software and CR800. Should this
occur, simply move the cable back to the original
port. If this is not possible, close then reopen the
PC200W software to refresh the available COM
ports. Click on Edit Datalogger Setup and change
the COM port to the new port number.
