If your problem is related to downloading data from your freefall logger, read the documentation for your logger first (Neptune/N3(A)/Atlas, ProTrack, AltiTrack, FlySight) and refer to the online troubleshooting tips of the manufacturer (Neptune/N3(A)/Atlas, ProTrack, AltiTrack, FlySight). Make sure communications is set up properly as described by the manufacturer (Neptune/N3(A)/Atlas, ProTrack, AltiTrack, FlySight) bearing in mind that not every device is compatible with every computer (details available here).
Select the virtual COM-Port provided by the adapter/driver as the 'Source' for downloading from the device in Paralog

On Linux you need to manually enter the port used (usually /dev/ttyS0 for serial connections, /dev/ttyUSB0 for USB connections). Make sure you have the proper rights to access the port; usually you need to be a memebr of the 'dialout' group.
