Note: In order for a DLL to be correctly reflected in this count, a valid Interrupt must
also be selected.
KICBOARD INPUTS
These check-boxes are only used if your computer has:

A Quick-KIC Thermal Recorder installed.
 A set of KICboards installed.
One checkbox should be selected for each of these cards installed.
INTERRUPT
To correctly use these devices in Windows they must be set to communicate at the
hardware interrupt level. Interrupts provide a means of allowing the hardware to
preempt the computer CPU when it has work to perform.
This “software” interrupt setting must match that of the “hardware” interrupt setting in
order to function correctly.
Note: If you are using a set of KICboards or a Quick-KIC Thermal Recorder card,
only one of the cards need have it’s interrupt setup. The other card’s interrupt should
remain in the OFF position.
COM PORTS TO SEARCH
This area allows you to select which computer COM port the KIC device(s) is
connected to.
Up to eight COM ports may appear in this area, depending upon how many serial
ports your computer is setup for.
Note: If other communication activity is detected on a COM port by the KIC software,
this COM port will not appear. This is to prevent inadvertent selection of an active
COM port.
COM DEVICES TO SEARCH FOR
This area is used to select which KIC devices that utilize COM ports are connected to
the COM ports to search.
SLIMKIC
This checkbox should be enabled if a SlimKIC or SlimKIC-II Thermal Profiler is either:

Directly connected to the COM port - This method is used to allow a SlimKIC
Datalogger to saved data as well as to setup the SlimKIC Transmitter or
Datalogger.

Transmitting to a Thermal Receiver attached to the COM port - This method is
only applicable to a SlimKIC or SlimKIC-II Thermal Profiler.
