USB to RS232
in [Hardware]
|
From: Dekka00 on 7 Sep 2005 02:44 I am trying to use a USB to RS232 adaptor between my laptop and a datalogger. The adaptor is coming up as a human interface device and will not allow the program for the data logger to connect as the program is looking for a port. The laptop is completely void of 'ports' as such, as it only has USB connections driven by the PCMCIA. The company that supplied the adaptor says I should be able to create a port and route the adaptor to it. Anyone have any ideas on how to do that? Thanks.
From: Sergei Vlasov on 8 Sep 2005 05:46 Think problem could be in a client software. USB-COM adapters use to create something like COM5 .. COM9 while many COM-port clients are limited to COM1/COM2. (btw; why HID? I've used FTDI USB-COM adapter and the device apeared in the DeviceManager's list as a COM-port) What brand is your USB adapter?

From: Dekka00 on 11 Sep 2005 02:25 I think you're right, a few others have told me that different software effects the identification of the interface device. Its a HL USB-RS232 adaptor. Thanks for your help anyway. "Sergei Vlasov" wrote: > Think problem could be in a client software. > USB-COM adapters use to create something like COM5 ..
