Serial to USB datalogger

1993-Talon-TSI · 01-13-2005, 09:37 AM

I have a dell laptop Insprion 8600, which only comes with 2 USB's, no serial port. I Have tmo and the cable and a serial to usb adapter. The logger works, but the data is all over the map, like one second it is a 100rpm then 8000rpm? will this setup not work cause of my usb port? Any help or fixes would be greatly appreitated!!!
no one is giving me straight answer?

Thanks Mike

The adapters you are using are not able to support it I had this same Problem. It is kinda hit or miss when it comes to them so I hear from the dsmlink forums. The one that is tried and proven is from COMP USA and is about 30 bucks. Also there is a place close to me that has one that works its actually the one I use. For 24.99 I would be happy to snag 1 up for you guys and ship them your way if you dont have a comp usa close by.

Yeah the one the DSMlink guys said to get was a "Keyspan" brand USB to serial adapter. I have used it w/o any problem with my DSMLink for a couple months now.
