Do not connect the Quick Check

PC interface module to COM 3 unless
the port uses a different interrupt (IRQ) than COM 1. COM 1 and COM

mouse and the Quick Check

PC software will result if there is an IRQ
conflict.
Note: You can install the Quick Check

PC software on a PC that does not
have an available COM port if you do not intend to connect the interface unit.

choose this option, an advisory message in the lower left corner of the Quick
Check

PC screen will indicate “No Port Selected.” This is the default setting for
the software.
