DataXchange with Windows XP

It has come to our attention that some users are experiencing difficulties when attempting to run DataXchange with Windows XP and the USB adaptor issued with DataXchange.

Should you be experiencing difficulties or should the 9XII not be displayed in the drop down screen of available transmitters, please upgrade immediately to V1.8

If using the Prolific USB adaptor that is bundled with the DataXchange, please note that WIndows XP does not always load the correct drivers. From the home page of MacGregor Website, please download the PL-2303 Drivers and install them onto your computer. If the USB adaptor was connected to the PC, remove and re-insert the adaptor.

Right click on "My Computer" and left click on "properties", select Hardware, Device Manager and open the Com Port section. There should now be a listing for USB to Serial Converter. Open this device and the Com Port that the adaptor now emulates should be listed. Please note which Com Port it has taken then close down the windows until you are back to your desktop.

Launch DataXchange (ensuring that the Splash Screen displays Version 1.8), click File, New, and select the type of transmitter in use. Open System, Com Port and select the com port that the USB adaptor is using, then click OK.

DataXchange is now ready to be used with Windows XP and the Prolific USB adaptor.

Should you have any difficulties, please contact Rotarsoft for assistance.
