Which USB-RS232 adaptors will work?

uc232a_aGenerally most if not all of the USB-RS232 adaptors will work in some fashion.

  • Not all of these devices are of equal quality, so the first adaptor we would recommend would be the one from your pump supplier.
  • TBITC has extensive experience with the ATEN adaptors and they have proven quite good.
  • We have found that these devices can stop working in the event of power disruptions.
  • These adaptors have a tiny computer in them and they do fail from time to time. However interconnection cables are more likely to fail than the USB-RS232 adaptors. They need to be disconnected for a few minutes for them to completely power down.
  • Driver software can be an issue with some adaptors. Often they will ship with old driver disks, you should go to the manufacturers website and update to the latest drivers.
