    摘要: A method and apparatus are provided for implementing automatic display of assistance information in a data collection computer system. A predefined port is monitored to detect the connection of a meter. When a meter connection is identified and the meter is not communicating properly, assistance information is automatically displayed for the user. A switch is provided for electromechanically detecting when an attempt is being made to connect a meter of a user selected type to a serial port of the data collection computer system. Then help information is automatically displayed when an error is detected.
