SELECT CORRECT COMM PORT IN WAVEWARE AND USB TO SERIAL PORT DRIVER
The serial (comm) port specified by WaveWare (WaveRider Software) and the serial port specified
by the USB to Serial Port Cable Driver must match.
Comm port setting must be 1 through 4 and must be the same for both WaveWare and the USB to
Serial Port cable.
Every computer is different.
Some comm ports may already be in use.
