Re: "Getting Started" innacurate directions?
I am strictly following the directions found Getting Started guide for Version 12 (2023) of ATEasy.
The intention is to familiarize myself with driver generation for a serial device.
I find that the instructions appear incomplete or incorrect since page 87 of the document states "COM ports are built-in" but when I try to define a serial port I see NONE in the list regardless of three being installed on the PC being used.
Any suggestions or guidance will be greatly appreciated.
Clarifications: I am COMPLETELY new to ATEasy and have no other resource at hand other than the manual.

Hello Jorge,
You need to enable it by clicking in the Driver's Property, so that it will show in the Driver's shortcut.
1. Double click the Driver(eSwitcher), it should open a new Tab.
2. From the driver's Tab, Right Click Driver>Properties>Interfaces
See attached image for reference

Hi,
The screenshot you attached is for the driver SHORTCUT properties and not the driver properties. Please double click on the driver shortcut and in the workspace window and that will open a tab that display the driver. Right click on the driver and open it properties, and then in the Interface page check the COM port. See the attached image. Once you enable the driver to support COM ports you can go back to the shortcut properties and set the COM port address.
