I am still using some old Panelview units (2711-tc1) vintage 1994. I have to make some programming updates to several of these in the field. I am using Panelview Development Software - Rev 5.01.00 07/09/93. My problem is when I make changes in my programming lab using a desktop computer with winxp, I don't have any problem transferring the program updates to the panelview. But, since I don't expecially want to lug these updated units to where they are needed, I would rather make these same changes onsite using my laptop. Problem is when trying to download my changes from my laptop to a panelview, I get the following error: the window label is "16 bit ms-dos subsystem. The message is PDS The system cannot open Com1 Port requested by the application. Choose "close" to terminate the application.
I compared settings between the 2 computers, they are identical, checked the baud rate on the computer & the panelview, they are both set at 9600. Like I said, the desktop transfer works fine. Just cant figure out the problem with the laptop. Any ideas? Thanks...Jim
