Hi there maybe a simple solution for this. Check the following:
See the documentation of that
device
for information on connecting the PK-232 to your computer. If
WriteLog will
not communicate with your PK-232, it may be necessary to do the
editing described below.
Using NotePad edit C:\Windows\writelog.ini as follows:
In the file, go to the section labeled [Ports].
Look at the line for the Com port you intend to use. It will look
like this:
COM1:=9600,n,8,1,x
Check to be sure all parameters are correct, then Delete the final
x (but not
the comma). It should look like this:
COM1:=9600,n,8,1,
Click on File, Save. Then open WriteLog; this should allow
your PK-232 to communicate with WriteLog.
There are other hints and kinks on my webpage

please let me know if this helped.
