TTL(5v) to
USB converter cable |
|
A fast simple way to
connect our handheld analysers to USB |
A TTL level serial interface to
USB converter cable, for connecting serial data at 5 volt logic levels to a
computer USB port
Ideal for use with our SDA-02 or SDA-01 handheld analysers

|
- Enables an application
program to receive and transmit serial data to and from a
device operating at 5 volt TTL logic levels
- The drivers provided
make the USB port appear as a standard serial port, i.e. it will appear
to application programs as "COM3" or "COM4" etc.
- Allows any of our handheld
analysers to be connected to the USB port on a PC to facilitate the
download of stored data
- Enables serial connection to a
PC not fitted with a standard RS232 COM port (e.g. a notebook sized PC)
|
Normally downloading data from
a model SDA-02 or SDA-01 handheld serial data analyser to a PC requires the
PC to be fitted with a standard RS232 serial COM port. The drivers supplied
with this USB adapter cable make a PC's USB port appear to a PC application
program as a standard serial COM port, enabling communication to a
handheld analyser even when a standard RS232 serial port is not fitted.
(e.g. notebook and laptop sized PCs)
