The topic »Devices« on the main menu of Datalyse contains:
A device (or Terminal) can be chosen, if one of the ports COM1 to COM8 is available.
Two devices can only be chosen, if two of the ports COM1 to COM8 is available. More devices can be chosen, if one or more of the ports COM1 to COM8 is available. See also How to use Datalyse on a USB computer and how to use Datalyse on a Macintosh.
