You use Find Stations to locate MicroScan or Shimaden Stations/controllers on the data highway.

To access Find Stations, click the Find Stations button on the MicroScan Interface Settings window.

This tool operates independently from any MicroScan settings and gives a convenient way of determining if the stations are working correctly without requiring or using any other setups.

Select the Port and Baud rate required and click Find Now.

Progress will be shown on the dialog, and as each station is found, it will be shown in Find Results.
When the operation is complete a message will be shown saying how many stations have responded.

Click Close to close the window. You can close the window at any time, after the stations you have installed have responded.
