from the link that cannot
be verified to be part of a
PakBus packet.
Some possible causes: the
datalogger program or its settings
are configured to write data on the
port on which you are attempting to
connect, there is a mismatch in baud
rates between your computer serial
port and the datalogger, the link is
dropping sequences of characters
from transmission because the CPU
on the computer is heavily loaded or
because of faulty USB drivers.
Possible solutions: change the port
you are using to communicate, try
using a slower baud rate to
communicate with the datalogger,
use Windows Task Manager to
determine whether there are
processes that are loading down
your CPU, check to see if there is an
updated driver for your USB/RS232
