Thomas, Thanks for the reply. Yes, I did use the directions for MacOS. Somewhere along the wayI accidentally deleted the vantage section. Inserting that allowed me to answer the critical question: where do I specify the USB/serial port for the loop data. Because the vantage section was missing that value was also missing. I "knew" I had seen that line somewhere.
Thanks, again.
