COM2 port for multidrop communication. USB configuration requires matching the
baud rates of the instrument and the PC to which it is connected. To view or change the
instrument baud rate:
1. Go to SETUP>MORE>COMM>COM2 menu.
2. Press the SET> button until “COM2 BAUD RATE:xxxxx” appears in the Param field
of the instrument display.
3. Check that the baud rate of the instrument matches the baud rate of your PC (if they
do not match, change either one to match the other).
4. Press the ENTR button to accept any changes.
