You may have too many devices occupying com ports and thus making the "Scan" function detecting the wrong device to connect. Please check the Com Port manually by going to "Control Panel/Systems/Hardware/Device Manager/Ports(COM & LPT)/ CP210x USB to UART Bridge Controller". |

| |
| Q16 |
I need a product key for V4 software. |
| A16 |
V4 SW is for BT-Q1000 Platinum version and higher models only. The standard SW utility for BT-Q1000 is V2 SW. V4 SW is not compatible with BT-Q1000 because the hardware design of Q1000 and Q1000 Platinum version is different. Better performance and software Q1000 Platinum has and thus the price is higher than Q1000. |
| |
| Q17 |
My Travel Recorder can not log 5Hz data? |
| A17 |
The update rate stands for the rate of GPS refreshing nmea data received from satellites. Thus 5Hz update rate only means GPS can receive or refresh nmea data 5 times per second, and it's irrelevant with 5Hz logging. So far all of Qstarz data loggers are only capable of 5Hz update rate but not 5Hz logging. |
