Connection with CR 800: USB serial communication


Aerosol Jul 27, 2011 12:05 AM

My Laptop does not have a serial port. so I am using a serial to USB wire to connect CR 800 to my laptop. But I don't think the USB to serial connection is working optimally.

Connection error are frequent. When I tested the communication of CR 800 with a PC (that has a serial port in it), I didn't have any connection issues at all.

Can anybody suggest what specific USB-serial connection works best with CR 800?

Or any other possibilities?

Right now, I am working with Loggernet and have window 7 in my Laptop. I checked the driver for the existing usb-serial and its installed.

Not all USB to Serial adapters are created equal. The major differences you'll see are driver quality and ability to adequately drive voltage levels.

Some of the device brands we've had success with include (but are not limited to):

+ Belkin
+ Targus
+ Quatech
+ VSCOM
