ABOUT THE CONFIGURATION MENU
Connection — The first section of the Configuration Menu,
Connection, selects the
Communications Port that the SMII will
use to interface with your PC. Com 1 is the recommended port
and is therefore the default. If you know that COM 1 is already
being used by another device on your computer, or receive the
message, “Couldn’t open COM 1,” then try selecting COM 2, COM
3, or COM 4 until you have tried all four COM ports. If none of the
four COM ports work, refer to “HyperTerminal” on page 22.
USB PORT — In order to use your device with a USB Port, you
will need to select “USB” from the Connection Menu. By checking
the AutoDetect USB checkbox, the software will automatically
detect when you have your device connected.
INITIAL CONDITIONS — The next section of the Configuration
Menu, Initial Conditions, lets you choose the various software
configuration settings below:
• Click on “Skip Configuration Menu” if you don’t want to see this
menu appear upon startup.
• Click on “Start with Windows” if you want the interface program
to automatically start when you turn your computer on (i.e., so
that you don’t need to reactivate it every time; see “Reactivating
SM2 CONNECT Interface Program” on page 18).
• Click on “Beep on Data” if you want your SMII to register a beep
when it transfers data to your PC spreadsheet program. NOTE:
The source of the beep is the Multimedia Speaker System. If
you do not have Multimedia speakers, select “Use PC Speaker”
instead.
