PowerMaster Port limitation?

Hey bud.. pushing the limits over here again.

Scenario; Running VSPE virtual com ports and have ports 1-8 assigned to other things.
USB to serial wants to use COM9 but PSDR seems to disallow any entry in the PowerMaster port # field beyond 5.
I could ( should ) probably shift all of my assignments one and free up Com2 for the dongle.
Just thought I would share this experience with you.

Enjoy.

Thanks Darrin!
.222 is in.. only one little bug.

When PSDR first starts up it complains about not finding the meter on COM1.. Well duh!..it's not on COM1 and you know it..
Once the control surface loads up I can go into settings, tick off use Powermaster box, and then re-tick it and it kicks on..
The proper port is listed in the value box and also reflected in the udPwrMstrCOM field value.

Guess it checks for the meter before it reads in the port where it actually lives.

:lol:

download .222 again and install 2 times.
This should cure the issue.
You may want to reboot your PC after re-install .222
