W2.exe Question

[Ozy]

Is there a way to disable the W2.exe from "scanning for W2".  I have many virtual com ports on my computer, some of which are over the network, and it takes nearly one minute for it to timeout the scan on program launch.   Is there any command line switches to make it not autoscan and try an explicitly defined port only?

Chris,

Go into Setup and select the port that you want to use for the W2.
That selection should be "sticky".
Once that port is selected, it will not scan for eligible ports.

No, it isn't actually.  It scans all com ports when start up.  I can see it
when it starts up on my remote base.  Even when you have selected a port.

I actually want a smaller version of the W2 so that it just shows 2 bars.
 Call it a 'compact' mode view.

Don maybe should have stated if you have a port selected that is available then it will not scan.
