Q. Can I change the pile number, once I have stored the signal?

A. No, you cannot. This is to prevent undesired mix-up of pile names.

Q. I don't have a RS232 port on my laptop anymore. How can I connect the SIT-heavy duty or the VM-system to my laptop?

A. You can use a USB-to-RS232 converter to connect the SIT-heavy duty or the VM-system to your PC. This converter is also available from Profound.

Please note that most USB-to-RS232 converters are installed on a COM-port with a number 5 or higher. The SIT software only supports COM-port 1, 2, 3 and 4. Depending on the type of USB-to-RS232 converter you can change the port number with a configuration program on the driver cd or with the device manager.

Please start the device manager via the Control Panel, double click the System icon, select the Hardware tab and click the Device Manager button. In the device manager you can find the USB-to-RS232 convertor in the "Ports (COM & LPT)" subtree. Double click on the USB-to-RS232 port and select the second tab (port configuration), click the Advanced button and change the port number.
