Establishing Communications

An important step in configuring your Shadow Tracker Professional System is to synchronize

communications between your computer, the Tracking Units and your software. This is done by

verifying, and if necessary adjusting, the COM Port setting in your Shadow Tracker Professional

software and by learning how to correctly connect your Tracking Units to the computer.

Setting the COM Port

IMPORTANT: The COM Port instructions below are for the Shadow Tracker Jr., Shadow Tracker

Pro, Shadow Tracker Performer and Shadow Tracker 2000 Tracking Units, which use a serial

COM Port to connect to the computer.

The Shadow Tracker j2

Tracking Unit uses a USB Port connection which is configured

automatically.

The COM Port is the communications port on your computer that Shadow Tracker Professional

will use to connect to and interact with your Tracking Units.

To set the COM Port:

If you know the COM Port # the Tracking Unit will be connected to;

1 From the menu, click Shadow Tracker > Set Communications Port.

2 In the Com Port Settings window, click the Edit button and select the correct COM

Port # from the drop-down list.
