> If I try to use the DDUtil support, I get a COM port conflict.  If I
re-install PowerSDR to not include the controller and try to use PowerSDR
itself, it doesn't work.  All of my virtual com ports start at 10 and above.

 

This is a problem one can have with virtual com ports with a FlexControl,
but there is a simpler solution than what has been suggested by Flex in the
set-up sheet.  I decided to not do the com port assignment as Flex
suggested, as changing all the virtual ports in all my software would be a
real pain.  I found that the simplest solution is to record where you have
all your virtual ports before installing the knob, then disable all your
virtual ports temporarily.  Then install the knob and drivers.  Then go into
device manager and reset the com port for the FlexControl to a com port
where none of your virtual ports are (or other hardware ports).  Then
re-enable all your virtual ports.  This requires no reconfiguration of any
of your virtual ports and all will work as it once did, plus you have a
working FlexControl knob.  This seems a much simpler solution than making
your virtual ports fit the one hardware port of the FlexControl.

 

Put everything back as when you started.  Then just go and manually move the
FlexControl's com port where you want it to not conflict with your existing
software.
