I just received my Argo Navis yesterday.
I'm taking it slow to make sure I don't assume that I know where I'm at in the set up process.
This is my question:
I've got a Win 10 computer. I'm trying to find the correct COM port as descriibed on pg (Com & LPT) ports as described on pg 169.

Hi Allen,
Welcome to the forum.
The Keypan USA-19HS comes with a CDROM with software on it. Be sure to install it first before plugging in the USB Serial Adapter for the first time.
The software on the CDROM includes the Window's device driver and a convenient utility called the Keyspan Serial Assistant.
On Windows 10, locate the "This PC" icon on the Deskop, right click on it and select Properties.
A dialog will open. On the left hand side of that dialog select "Device Manager".
Once the Device Manager dialog opens, follow the instructions in the Argo Navis Users Manual and drill down through the Ports (COM & LPT) hierarchy to determine the COM port
number Windows has assigned the Keypsan USB Serial Adapter and to change it to an unused port in the range 1 thru 4 if need be.
Alternatively, click on the Window's Start button on the lower left of the Desktop, left click on it and look for the Keyspan USB Serial Adapter folder.
Within it, select the Keyspan Serial Assistant. When the approval dialog open,s allow it to make changes to your computer. Select the Port Mappings tab and change the COM port that way.
Once you have assigned the USB Serial Adapter an port number of 1 thru 4, when you open the Argonaut software utility, select the corresponding number 1 thru 4 in the Port pulldown.
Then select Connection->Connect.
