3. Checked Power Supply: Verified that both devices are powered on and functioning.
4. Driver Installation: Installed necessary drivers for the RS232 interface.
5. Device Manager Check: Confirmed that the RS232 port is recognized in the Device Manager (Windows).
6. COM Port Settings: Ensured that the correct COM port settings are selected in mmWave Studio.

 

Expected Behavior:
The RS232 connection should be visible in mmWave Studio, allowing me to select the device for communication.

 

Actual Behavior:
The RS232 connection does not appear in the connection options in mmWave Studio.

Additional Information:
- Attached screenshots of the Device Manager showing the RS232 port.

Request for Assistance:
I would appreciate any guidance on troubleshooting this issue. If there are additional steps I might have missed or specific settings that need to be configured, please let me know.

if possible we can have the virtual session for debugging , or provide us some solution for this problem....... 

Thank you for your help!
