DM41L serial transfer help!

[Geoff Quickfall]

hello Marcus and all the best for the new year.

Well, previous to your email I did follow the procedures exactly as outlined at Swiss Micros. I did follow yours as described as they are much more readable.

1. Downloaded latest drivers and confirmed with calculator plugged in that Device Driver recognized the UART USB connection.
2. downloaded and installed latest PuTTY.
3. called putty and corrected serial section (see photo).
4. machine off but plugged in during first three steps I then turned it on+c to Serial Console.
   

Result, nothing, clicking OPEN causes windows chime only. Unplugging and plugging causes chimes only. tried three different cables all confirmed to work with other hardware. No joy.

I did see the console windows appear and disappear in a flash on one occasion.

Tried three different computers, all windows ten and no joy on any.

Again, device drivers loaded successfully, PuTTY loaded successfully, cables confirmed to function. Procedure you listed followed exactly. All to no avail!
