USB+to+Serial+Converter,+Comport+Settings

Problem
How do I determine and configure the comport setting for my USB to Serial Converter?

Solution

 * 1) With the USB converter are USB to serial drivers (the USB converter emulates a serial port). Make sure you install these drivers. The drivers are included with the USB converter. If you can not find these drivers, perform a [|Google] search for the USB converter manufacturer, part number and the word "drivers" and download them from the manufacturer's website. If you purchased the USB to serial converter driver from Ambient Weather, you can find the IO Gear converter driver software here: http://www.iogear.com/support/dm/driver/GUC232A#display
 * 2) After installing the drivers, you will need to determine the comport that was assigned. To find this in windows, select **Control Panel** (make sure you are in "Classic View" if running Windows XP) **| System | Hardware | Device Manager | Ports (Com and LPT)** and look for the installed port assigned by the adapter. Next, enter this comport in Virtual Weather Station by selecting **Communication | Communication**.
