K24U Software

[Dan Mees]

I'm trying to use the K24U software to operate my K2/100 and having problems getting connected.  Im using an older DELL Inspiron/5100 w/XP Pro.  When I click Connect... I get a window that sez "K2 communication Link Has Been Reset."  I click OK.... but get no joy.  When I try to choose a different com port I get the same window and when I click OK ..  another window pops up that sez "Invalid Procedure Call or Argument" and then I have to reboot.  If you cant tell... Im not computer literate.   Anyway... any suggestions that would be helpful are appreciated.  Have not heard from the software creator yet.

Dan,

The K2 secondary menu parameter "PORT" must be set to ON.

Dan,

I can reproduce the error messages stated by simply configuring K2 PORT=OFF.
So if your K2 serial Port is set to ON, make sure the K2 to Computer Cable Assembly is correct (e.g. as in KIO2 Manual, Figure 7).
CAUTION: Do not use a pre-assembled cable of any kind (printer cable, etc.) between the KIO2 and a computer.
