Predator to PC Communication Problem

Ok, I was doing some data logging with my Predator and decided I wanted to upload it to my PC. I have tried everything I can think of and I am unable to get the PC and Predator to communicate. Has anyone else had problems?

I have tried 57,600 and 115,200 baud settings on both the PC and Predator without success. I am using 8 data, No parity, and 1 stop bit on the PC. I don’t see anywhere to change it on the Predator.

The serial cable is a regular straight through cable, and I have tried two separate cables with the same results.

The PC only has one STD serial port and it is configured as COM 1. I have the CRM_DAT software set to use COM 1. When loading the CRM_DAT software it opens the COM port without error.

Looks like I answered this in another thread. Glad you got it working. FYI, for anyone else reading, use a "NULL modem" serial cable.
