[WriteLog] Comm ports - Where are they?

[Ted Roycraft]

Greg,
This is from the "writelog.ini" description
in the help file for WriteLog ...

---------------------------------------
There are 4 "slots" available for WriteLog rig interfacing. By default,
CommSlot1 is COM1:, but you can change that by changing the number on the
right of the equal sign
CommSlot1=1
CommSlot2=2

…In this example, the third and fourth slots are on COM7 and COM8

CommSlot3=7
CommSlot4=8
===============================================

Therefore, you can map any physical port to any
writelog port slot.  For example, you can map physical COM5 to
WriteLog "Slot 4" by setting  CommSlot4=5 in
writelog.ini in your \windows directory.

Hope this helps.
