[Rfdump] Windows version

[James Bourne]

Lukus,

Thanks for this - not sure if I made it clear where the FTDI Virtual COM
port driver is installed: it is installed under XP. Is this correct or
should I install the Linux version within the Linux Virtual Machine
instead ?

or

XP Virtual COM port driver is installed as COM4 - VMWare autodetects
serial port as COM4. Do I need to change settings in Linux/RFDump to
COM4 ?

Many thanks

regards

You need to map the comport to the USB driver that provides you a 
serial-port.

Check your COM-Port setting using the VM.

Any ISO-Command reader should work, we just check it with the ACG  (ISO 
15693 Firmware v0.9 and ISO 14993 Firmware Dual-ISO 2.2).

You can buy both reader from DN-Systems, check the Mailing-List there 
was a posting on Prices etc ...
