Connect
Plug the instrument into this computer with a data-rated USB cable, then click Connect device and pick the instrument's port. The instrument restarts when the connection opens — that is normal. Test data is read from the instrument and stays entirely on this computer; nothing is uploaded anywhere.
Device not showing up in the port list?
- Cable: many USB cables are charge-only. Use a cable known to carry data (the one shipped with the instrument is).
- Driver: the instrument uses a CH340 USB-serial bridge. Windows 10/11 and current macOS usually install it automatically; if no port ever appears, install the manufacturer's CH340/CH341 driver from wch-ic.com and replug.
- Port in use: close any other serial terminal (Arduino IDE, CoolTerm, PuTTY) that may be holding the port.
- Browser: Brave lists no serial port (Web Serial is disabled there by default); use Chrome or Edge.
- Moved from another computer? If the instrument was unplugged from another computer while switched on, power it off and on, then connect. Its USB port is powered by the instrument, not the cable, so it does not announce itself to a new computer until the instrument restarts.
- By default the picker is filtered to the instrument's USB ID. If yours enumerates differently, tick "Show all serial ports" and choose it manually.
