Failure to communicate with dataTaker

I recently purchased a DT80 series 2 datataker, the seller did the installations for me on my laptop. At first i managed to go through the part 1 training exercise.

Later i could not manage to go over the exercise. From the laptop the information i get is:

Warning: could not open serial port 
Warning could not detect baud rate for serial part

How can i resolve this?

Thanks

Good morning mahambah,

If you have been using the logger then we know the drivers have been installed correctly. When using a USB connection please make sure you always plug into the USB same port on the computer.

If you plug into a different port then it will have a different port number and return the error you are getting. If you do change ports then you will have to change the port number in the connection definition.

Cheers,
Roger

Thanks Rogers, I got it. It will take a while for me to get to grasp with the gadget.
