[QUOTE="doorguru, post: 1146786, member: 418516"] Thanks for the reply. "What are you trying to achieve." To connect the 6906 to my PC to run the "install.exe" To restore my 6906 to the way it was before I chose "default value" in the menu. I no longer can, as the "manual" says, "view the actual channel on the screen of the meter" Is my thinking wrong? Do you know the right way to get everything back to "factory" and not have ([B]see picture[/B]) "no tv program" appear on the screen. [ATTACH]149903[/ATTACH] [B]My original question and the reason for my post[/B]: I'm asking what usb/db cable set up do I need for the 6906 to communicate with my PC. I wrote: [I]" I have the loader software and the dump file, but I am confused about the cables. I purchased a USB to DB9 (male) cable. It did not come with software, but when I plugged it in, Windows 11 recognized it as "USB to Serial Port (COM 6 ) " . Now my computer has a RS232/DB9 serial port.
