Simulator and ANT USB stick

If no log is generated that indicates that the simulator was unable to connect to the usb stick upon simulator start-up. This may have been due to another program holding onto the stick during simulator start-up.
Try this:
1. Shut down the connect-iq simulator
2. Shut down all other programs that use the ANT usb stick
3. Wait 30s to ensure that all programs have fully released the usb sticks
4. Start-up the connect iq simulator
5. A DeviceX.txt log should have been generated in the bin/ folder of the sdk.
6. If this log contains similar statements to the following then the simulator should have successfully connected to a usb:
0.000 { 110875152} Tx - [A4][01][4A][00][EF][00][00]
0.000 { 110875152} Rx - [A4][01][6F][20][EA]
0.000 { 110875152} Tx - [A4][02][4D][00][54][BF][00][00]
0.000 { 110875152} Rx - [A4][07][54][08][08][00][BA][36][00][DF][A4]
0.000 { 110875152} Tx - [A4][01][4A][00][EF][00][00]
0.000 { 110875152} Rx - [A4][01][6F][20][EA]
0.624 { 110875776} Tx - [A4][01][4A][00][EF][00][00]
0.624 { 110875776} Rx - [A4][01][6F][20][EA]

Still no luck. Thanks anyway. I'm ordering an ANT2 stick, I hope that will solve the problem.

ANT2 stick works fine. I've bought a Suunto brand, as it was cheaper, for the same piece of hardware as Garmin.
