Default Sonde Port
This refers to the COM port you will most commonly use to connect to
your sonde. If you select a port here, EcoWatch will automatically use
this port as the default COM port when you use the Sonde command.
The Apply button in the bottom of this dialog box is not used in EcoWatch.
SONDE
This command opens a terminal window for communicating with a sonde. From the terminal window you
can communicate to a sonde using the sonde menus. Unless you have chosen a default sonde port in the
Communications Settings dialog box the following dialog box will appear asking you which COM port to
use.
