Hi All
I will be working on a project to capture serial data from multiple -
different devices via serial ports. Adding serial port boards to a
PC really can eat up slots and physical space for cabling. Is there
a device that ... for example.... would be an external box with the
serial port connectors, then that box would have one cable connecting
to a board in the PC such that each device would be connected to it's
own COM port (maybe com1 thru com8)
You could get that effect very inexpensively using a USB hub and a
load of USB <--> RS232 converters - which are very cheap and small.
I did have problems with USB <--> RS232 convertors on fast machines,
when pumping down a load of data, I reckon it was that the CTS signal
was not coming up fast enough
- so it would be wise to test any device you use thoroughly before
committing
