Serial Port (COM Port) Assignment
A few seconds after connection of a myPCLab, Windows operating system assigns a COM port
number for communication. The assigned COM port number will not change in future connections to the
same USB port. Users can easily identify and modify the assigned COM port in:
Control Panel / System / Hardware / Device Manager / Ports (COM & LPT)
Select the desired “myPCLab” device, click with the right mouse button and select “Properties”.
Select “Port Settings” and click on the “Advanced...” button. In “COM Port Number” list, select the serial
port to be assigned. Some serial port can be marked as “in use”. Only select one of these ports if you
are sure it is not being used by any other peripheral in your computer.
In some cases, serial port can be marked as “in use” even when the associated device is not in
the computer. In this case, it is safe to assign this port to myPCLab.
The following figures illustrate the most important steps for this procedure.
