The only thing you have to do to get WT working with the EZMaster is to 
configure its virtual COM port in Win-Test with the following settings:

19200, 8-bits, No Parity, 1 Stop Bit
DTR: CW
RTS: PTT

As soon as you validate the "Interface Configuration" window clicking on 
OK, WT will initialize the EZMaster in Advanced Mode. If everything goes 
fine, you will see the EZMaster Firmware version displayed in the bottom 
of the logging area of Win-Test.

If you don't see that Firmware Version, then something is probably wrong 
somewhere. Check the USB cables, try to reset the EZMaster, etc

Please note that you must exit EZManager before starting WT. As WT uses 
the Advanced mode of EZMaster, it configures all the unit by itself. You 
don't need to configure anything manually through any of the EZ Softwares.

HTH
