1.5 Determining the USB COM Port
If you opted to use the USB cable and install the USB drivers, a COM port will be
reserved whenever the GSC400 Programmer is plugged into the computer with
the GSC400 controller powered.
This section will help you determine the COM port. The GSC400 programmer
has to be plugged into the computer and into the GSC400, and the GSC400
has to be powered.
