Windows
®
typically adds the virtual port in
sequence after the highest number COM port.
For example, on PC’s equipped with up to 4
COM ports, the virtual port will be COM5.
When using the USB interface with programs
that limit the number of COM port designations
(e.g. Ohaus MassTracker allows only COM1,
2, 3, & 4), it may be necessary to assign one of
these port numbers to the new virtual port.
Example of Windows XP Hardware Wizard
This can be done in the Port Settings of the Device Manager utility, found in the Windows Control Panel.
