To transfer the data from the Lactate Scout+ to your PC you need

How to determine the COM port number assigned to the serial
Bluetooth® - connection when using third party software

Before any data transfer, the “Lactate Scout Assistant” software scans all
installed COM ports automatically for the connected Lactate Scout+device.
When using third-party software, which doesn’t support such a COM port
scanning function, the port number has to be set manually. To determine
the COM port number assigned to the Bluetooth® connection, please
proceed as follows:

1. Open the dialog window “Devices and Printers” by double-clicking
the Bluetooth® icon in the task bar (left gure) or in the window of
hidden icons (right gure):

2. Now double-click on “Lactate Scout Plus” icon:

3. In the property window select the tab “Services“:

The COM port number shown in this window has to be entered at the
communication settings of your software. Please read the appropriate
section in the manual of the software you are using.
