Currently my RDS logfile is in local time...I'd like it to be in UTC. Where is the switch?

Thanks Dennis.

 

I found the rogue port, it was COM44 which was the device that is now COM6. The problem with N1MM+ is now resolved.

Note sure if you have tried this yet or not. But thought I would suggest it.

You can use device manager to view the COM ports on the system. BUT it may not be telling you the whole story unless it tell it too. There could be "hidden" devices you cannot see. You would think it is as simple as clicking on the "View" menu in device manage and selecting the "Show hidden devices" option. But this does not always show all hidden devices. So try this:

1. Open a DOS window as administrator
2. Enter set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1
3. Enter start devmgmt.msc

The device manager will open. But even though you entered the command to show all hidden devices in the DOS window the hidden device will not be shown until you go back to the "View" menu and select "Show hidden devices". This will show ALL hidden devices now.

Now if you see some old ports that do not belong on the system you can delete them.

I added some screen capture to help.
Device manager 1 & 2 are befog using the "set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1" option
Device manager 3 & 4 are after using it.

Yes that is COM18, I could not find any duplicate ports, but with the advice on here I have some tools to play with. The SDRC tool is very clear, I am at work today then 3 weeks off 😊

Talk to the N1MML logger program developer. He has not selected the most reliable way to enumerate serial ports. And just off hand I do not see a duplication in that list. It's not the virtual serial port tool's problem if there really is no duplication present. If there is one it is removable once you know which one it is. His error message will have to be more specific. If he's not developing the program anymore it's time to junk it.

Re: Com port pickle

Conrad, PA5Y
 

All those ports are used, I have a lot of different configurations. However I will remove everything and start again and perhaps have some kind of structure. For instance, all of the S3 virtual ports are 55-57. I should add that despite N1MM+’s protestations everything works in all other applications.
