logging device is connected: COM1, COM2,

are recommended to transfer data at a faster rate.

trouble communicating at a higher rate.

properly. The system displays an informative message indicating
whether it was able to establish communications.

above 9600.
Setting the Real-Time Clock
The D
USTTRAK monitor has an internal real-time clock that keeps track
of the time of day (The format is HH:MM where HH is the hour in 24-
hour format and the MM is minutes) and the date. It is very important
for the D
USTTRAK monitor to have the time and date correctly set;
otherwise, date and time stamping of recorded data and calibrations will
not be correct.
There are two ways to set the time and date. The first is to use the
supplied T
RAKPRO
TM
Data Analysis Software.
