2. Enable Serial Communication:

   • Select the [COM (Serial)] option to enable serial communication.

3. Select the Serial Port:

   • Choose the COM port number corresponding to the port connected to the RS232 cable on your computer.

     • Open the Device Manager on your computer.
     • Locate the RS232 connection under Ports (COM & LPT)

4. Set Communication Parameters:

   • Configure the following settings:
     • Baud Rate: Set to 9600.
     • Data Bits: Leave as the default (usually 8 bits unless otherwise specified).
     • Parity Bits: Leave as the default (usually None unless specified).
     • Stop Bits: Leave as the default (usually 1 bit unless specified).

5. Save Settings:
