• Detect Devices...: Opens a dialog allowing you to select the device file. 3 device files are available for each device; the Description column shows the type of device file:

  • (GENERIC) [device designation]: Generic type. The name of the device file ends in a consecutive number which depends on the boot procedure or the order of insertion. Example: /dev/ttyUSB0

  • (BY PORT) [device designation]: According to the USB port. The device file is in the /dev/usbserial/ directory. The name of the device file ends in the number of the USB port that the device is plugged into. Example: /dev/usbserial/ttyUSB_P12

  • (BY USBID) [device designation]: According to USB ID. The device file is in the /dev/usbserial/ directory. The name of the device file ends as follows: _V[Vendor ID]_P[Product ID]. Example: /dev/usbserial/ttyUSB_V067b_P2303

  • (Virtual) [device designation]: Virtual device; used for signature pads for example. Example: /dev/ttyVST0

  

  If your device has an additional multiport PCI card, more than 2 connections may be available.

  
  

  

  If you would like to use signature pads, you must enable them beforehand under User Interface > Input > Signature Pad.
