Using NI USB-232/4

Hi, I have an application where I need to control communication between two devices that use serial ports.

Anyone know if I can do this with the NI USB-232/4? Can I use 1 of the serial ports to monitor what is happening between the other two?

Thanks in advance.

This device offers 4 independent serial ports.  Each will have its own COM port to access since.  So you can use it to communicate with up to 4 devices.

With regard to the follow-up between two other devices, you will need a special cable to access the RX on either side of the communication signal and their son up to 2 ports series different on your computer, as with the USB-232/4.

    What advantage is there to use the NI USB-232/4 on a shift to USE of concentrator series?

    I have an application that requires LabVIEW control of 19 instruments that communicate via RS - 232.

    I have read the Datasheet for the NI USB-232/4, and I see no benefit of spending $528 for this unit (five times) on a standard USB to Serial hub for half the price.

    Can someone tell me if there is an advantage for the NI USB-232/4 or if they have had experince with one?

    Thanks in advance.

  • USB-232/4 causes Windows hang when wake from sleep

    I have a problem of resumption of the functioning of the laptop that follows "sleep" or "hibernate".

    With the connected USB-232/4, the computer does not return the Windows normally.  The display does not return (without backlight or external video output), but the LED indicators (bluetooth, disc, power, etc.) appear normal.  When I remove the USB from the USB-232/4, the display reverts immediately to the State before the mode 'sleep' activated.  Tried all 3 USB ports - all the same behavior.  No index by using the event viewer.

    Win 7 (64 bit)

    Series NI 3.7, NEITHER VISA NOR spy 2.7.2 5.0.2 MAX 4.8

    Serial port assignments seem to be OK:

    Port 1 - com15

    2 port - com9

    Port 3 - com16

    Port 4 - com8

    Any suggestions on the next steps to solve this problem?

    Thanks in advance.

    Solved the problem!

    The BIOS has a setting in the section advanced to Wake Up capability.  Compatible USB S3 Wake.  Now, the USB-232/4 is powered over the recovery of the standby mode.  When this feature is disabled, the USB-232/4 light not upon resuming from sleep mode and probably hung up the pilot, preventing a normal recovery.

  • NEITHER USB-232 problem!

    Hello

    I got the cable OR USB-232, as I'm trying to connect my minolta LS100 luminance meter using labview. Before I'm even worried about the VI I created for this, I can't see the NI USB - 232 in the "name of resource VISA" based series write & read vi. I have correctly installed the driver for the cable and the driver is up to date, also I see port (COM4) Device Manager and I can see the cable max.

    Any idea why I can't see it?


  • With LabVIEW how to control an instrument with a RS232 output, using a USB RS232 converter cable.

    With LabVIEW how to control an instrument with a RS232 output, using a USB RS232 converter cable, since I do not have rs232 ports. I have two instruments I want for the control in this way. One is a guarantee of strength Imada SPAS with RS232 output. The other is a micrometer Panasonic HL-G103-S-J laser sensor which is RS422. I have done significant programming LabVIEW using GPIB, but I have no experience with devices such as these. No matter what tutorial or examples would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    When you plug the USB-RS-232 converter, it installs a driver under Windows which makes it look like any other RS-232 port.  You may need to install the driver of everything that came on the CD with the converter.  It will get a Com as Com5 port number according to what is the next available number.

  • Xcdt satellite 2540 - USB port to use a USB key?

    Hello... I would like to give my old Tohsiba (Satellite 2540XCDT) my aunt to use either a connection dial-up / ADSL / ADSL2.

    It has a USB port - this port can be enabled to take a USB? Download a driver for it? Where can I find a driver for this system?

    (Recently I hooked a new Lexmark printer into the USB port and managed to get the printer doesn't work after loading software CD - a little slower than the old connection with the HP Inkject printer, but works nevertheless.) .... Made me think that maybe I could get a memory stick for this?

    Also... Any chance I can still switch from Windows 98 to Windows 2000 online? And it would help at all with performance improvement? Or cause complications more?

    And... ADSL or ADSL2 will be better than just using a slow dial-up? (or is this old system quite simply too slow anyway?)

    ... It used to work fine on just dial-up, although the memory buffer (or course) on video content - and I always think that one probably even with ADSL/2?) ... But things have changed there! (my new Toshiba Satellite XP a is zero, so I don't know how this old system would work these days?) Any comments?

    Hello

    > It has a USB port - this port can be enabled to take a USB? Download a driver for it? Where can I find a driver for this system?

    Looks like you are using Win 98 OS is usually very old new Microsoft operating systems; Windows Me, 2000, XP and Vista include the Generic USB drivers and it is not necessary to install any USB drivers but more old OS like Win 95 or 98 needs USB drivers Win

    See this page:
    http://www.technical-assistance.co.UK/KB/usbmsd98.php

    You would be able to download the USB drivers to use the USB flash memory.

    > Any chance I can still switch from Windows 98 to Windows 2000 online
    No, I don't think this is possible if you want to use W2K then you need to purchase this OS, but since it is an old OS I doubt you could buy this OS.

    Suzanne,

    With the help of a video-to-USB device like the EVGA UV plus + 19 will not damage your computer or HDTV. The EVGA UV + 19 more is an active device and is not just a passive cable. To the best of my knowledge, there is no passive cable which will convert the USB ports in HDMI ports.
