Set the sensor to MS9723. (Default value: None)
โป If you are using MS9724, make sure to set it to MS9724.
5. Set Device Port
To connect the device with the software, you need to know the port number that identifies the device.
Click on Port1 UI, and you will see a Reset option. Depending on your PC, there might also be COM1.
Remember the port number, then refer to the image below to connect the Tinn controller to your PC.
After connecting to the PC, select Reset in Port1. A new COM port will be added.
The new COM port is the recently connected Tinn controller,
and the COM port number assigned by the PC usually does not change.
