9 pin serial

I was wondering if anybody has found a 9 pin serial adapter for a macbook pro
macbbok pro   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

Any PCI-e card should be ok to install in a Mac Pro, so long as it does not cause you to exceed the 300 watt total limit for PCI -e cards

  • Color Stylewriter 200 (9 pin serial cable)

    Is it possible to convert a Color Stylewriter 200 (9 pin serial cable) so that it can work with Windows XP?

    Hello,
    The color style writer 2200 was produced in collaboration with apple and canon. If you search in google images, type bjc80 and you'll see it's the same design and the same ink cartridge.
    So may be try to use bjc80 driver for color style writer 2200 on windows xp but may be on pc this printer was used with parallel port but a thing I'm sure there was an irda (infrared) port.
    Other thing, try to user EPson LQ print driver sometimes it works.
    I hope it will help you

  • I/o set to ttya in v880 and not taking commands from 25 pin serial cable

    it shows all info from hyper terminal via 25 pin cable but i m not able to give commands from it

    Hello,
    is this a known good cable (is/was working with other systems) ?
    Have you verified the settings in the terminal emulation (Hyperterm) ?
    This is either a wiring issue (hardware) or wrong handshaking (software).
    Use 9600,8,N,1 and no flow-control. This is my current setup with TeraTerm.
    Btw. no need to double-post

  • My motor receives data via a serial connection, but it won't move. What am I doing wrong?

    Hello everyone,
    as the title says, I am trying to use a motor called "MP285" by Sutter Instruments via LabView. The control unit of this motor only has a RS232-output, but I use a Serial-to-Usb-Adapter to connect the device to the PC.
    My problem is the following:
    I tried to perform a basic Input/Output test by using the Ni MAX an sending ASCII strings to the control unit (after configuring it according to the reference manual), which worked fine. I also used the "jabber"-function of the control unit to send an output string to the PC and was also able to read that string from the buffer. Besides, when I used a LabView-VI to send a command via VISA Write, it also appears on the display of the control (at least the ASCII letters).
     Accordingly, I assume that the Serial-to-USB-adapter does work. Is that for sure, or can the adapter evoke any other problems?
    However, when I try to use the shipped controlling software, the motor won't work. Furthermore, I contacted the customer support and they sent me some VIs and a LabView-Project, which was tested by the company. Unfortunately, it did not work for me. The motor wouldn't move, when I sent the command, although the LabView-interface indicates that there the connection between PC and controller has been established. As the program has many features and I only need a command to move the motor, read the position and set the origin, I tried to build my own VI. I had a look at some basic VIs for motor control and referred to the manual.
    As it seems, the controller uses data streams of full bytes (8 bits, not ASCII) in Big Endian for its strings (I copied the information at the bottom of this text). Thus, I tried to concatenate particular strings to send it via VISA in the correct form (see attached). Do I have to convert the "m" into hexadecimal explcitly? I looked up "Convert ASCII to Hexadecimal", but when I try this, the output string does not change.
    However, when I send this string to the controller in normal mode, nothing happens . When I activate the Input/Ouput test (see above), there is a m displayed on the controller unit. So I guess, I am messing up the command structure. Can anybody help me please?
    Kind regards
    PS: Sorry for cleaning up the diagramm..
    PPS: For some reason, I could not attach the VI because " The contents of the attachment doesn't match its file type". So, I changed the name in "-vi" instead of ".vi" as suggested by a forum user. Hope this works for you!
    Excerpt form the reference manual:
    General Information:
    "Command requests are single bytes followed by optional parameters and terminated by a
    carriage return (CR, 0Dh). The data stream consists of full bytes (all 8 bits — not ASCII.
    The lowest order byte (for example, of the four bytes encoding the X coordinate) is the first
    into the controller and is the first out. The default Baud rate is 9600. Commands are
    processed bytewise by interrupt and executed only after the terminating CR is received.
    There are no delimiters within command strings. The controller will reply with carriage
    return (CR, 0Dh) at the completion of normal command processing."
    Command structure:
    Get Current Position      command ‘c’CR 063h + 0Dh
                                               returns xxxxyyyyzzzzCR three signed long (32-bit) integers + 0Dh
    Go To Position                 command ‘m’xxxxyyyyzzzzCR 06Dh + three signed long (32-bit) integers + 0Dh    
                                                returns CR 0Dh
    Setting up for Serial Communication:
    First, use the 9-pin serial port cable provided with the MP-285 to connect the “serial port” of
    your computer to that of the MP-285 controller. Next configure your terminal emulator (e.g.,
    HyperTerminal in Microsoft Windows (9X and above) to the following settings (or their
    equivalent):
    • TTY mode
    • Echo typed characters locally only (do not echo input to the computer serial port back to
    the controller)
    • Baud rate to 9600
    • 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit
    • COM port - set to the port to which you have connected the MP-285 controller

    Thank you for your feedback!
    To make this clear: I dont know if the motor MOVES when sending the appropriate command via MAX. That is because I dont know how to enter the binary? command. I only tried to send some string like "dear moto please move" to see if this ASCII string can be displayed on the control unit while running the input-mode (which I described above).
    This works for both, MAX and my Labview-Vi.
    However, these are the I/O traces:
    1. MAX: I sent the string: "Test"

  • RS232 Serial to USB: Connecting Electronic Scale: Software ?

    I have a heavy duty 400lb capacity scale from Pelouze:
    http://global.dymo.com/enCA/Products/400lb____180_Kg_Digital_Shipping_Scale__4040.html
    It has a 9 pin Serial RS232 port on the side. I was looking to connect it to a G4 for the purpose of importing the displayed weight into a software package.
    Preliminary research indicates I will need two things:
    1. A Serial (male) to USB (male) adapter cable with a driver that will correctly communicate with the scale.
    2. Software to graphically display the output of the driver.
    The manufacturer does give some basic information on the serial connection:
    Serial Cable Pinout:
    Pin 3 = DATA
    Pin 5 = COMMON
    Communications Protocol:
    Speed = 2400 Bps
    Word Length = 8 bits
    Parity = none
    Stop bits = 1

    Update:
    Was hoping t use the Keyspan cable as I’ve seen it mentioned in several other boards for a number of years, but the POSIX API mentioned in their brochure for this product is no longer supported per the following statement form the company:
    [quote]Unfortunately, this type of support is no longer offered, following the purchase of Keyspan by Tripp Lite a few years ago. It appears our marketing department failed to update the manual, deleting the Developer[quote]
    So I opted for a TRENDnet product off Amazon for $12.00 that has high ratings. It uses one of the “chips” (PL-2303) you are suppose to use for this and it has Mac drivers. I believe it also has a little app used to set-up the initial connection or maybe I could use one of those BDAqua mentioned since I retain Classic for use with some old peripherals. The article below contains more information on this chip, although not this specific product:
    http://www.planet-rcs.de/article/macserialport/
    Looks like the next step would be to try to whip up a application in a old copy of Realbasic using the serial class to talk to the scale via the emulated serial port.
    Thanks for the information!

  • Read Serial USB Input

    I am trying to read the inputs from an analyzer communicating with the computer through a USB port.  I have tried to use the RS232 Input module in DASYlab, but it always says it is waiting for a signal.  I have attached the protocol for the analyzer.  What settings can I change to see these values?

    From the manual, it looks like the device has a serial output. Typically that looks like a 9-pin connector on the back of the device. 
    If the device has a USB output, and not a serial connector, does it create a COM port when you plug the USB cable into the PC? You can check that with the device manager.
    If it is a 9-pin connector, then you need a USB-RS232 converter. They're readily available, since almost no new computer has a 9-pin serial port.

  • Controlling Stopwatch in Program using Serial DTR/DTS/RTS

    Hi, 
    I have a device which I have attached to my PC using a RS232 to USB connection. It is a 9 port pin serial push button type device. Pin 4 is the DTR with a resistor in the circuit. Pin 7 is the RTS with the switch, and Pin 6 is the DSR for the circuit.
    I'd like to set the DTR to High, and set the RTS to low, and read the DSR state of the device in my Labview program.
    What I'd like to build is a simple stopwatch in my program. This stopwatch should execute when the main program starts, and be continuously reading the DSR state of my com device. When it changes it should stop the stopwatch. 
    Can someone guide me with this?
    I've attached my program thus far, and need some help. The program right is now is just executing vibratory motors through an Arduino MEGA.
    Thanks!

    motor_control_responsetime.vi ‏55 KB

    Few more updates...I'm not quite there yet..
    What I need to do is make the program only record the time between when a motor comes on, and when the user pushes the button changing the DSR state to 'Unasserted'. I think this would affectively give me the reaction time it took between the two events...
    Alternatively, I was thinking of perhaps having a separate elapsed time counter from the start of the button, and then stop and spit out the time it took for the motor to actually turn on (since there is a delay from when the program turns on to actually communicating with the device. So I need to effectively subtract this time out of the equation when the user is told to be ready and press the button.
    Can someone please help me?

  • X2200 M2 requires addition serial port

    I have some new X2200 M2 opteron servers that require addition serial ports, the server comes with 1, 9 pin serial port and with our other V40z servers we were able to use the DIGI serial port expanders PCI cards.
    the X2200 m2 server has
    Standard: Riser card assembly with two internal 64-bit, 8-lane, low-profile, half length PCI-Express slots
    Optional: Riser card assembly with one internal 64-bit, 16-lane, low-profile, half length PCI-Express slot
    1x 16 PCI-E riser supports
    DIGI will only support PCI - X so if If the new 2200 Opteron server has PCI-X slots, then the AccelePort Xr920 will work fine. was the response from DIGI
    any suggestions on how to get additional serial port on these servers.
    Thanks

    Had this NET MGT port ever worked in past ? If not then I'd advise you to open a support case with Sun to get this checked. It might be that your NET MGT port is failed.

  • Serial to ethernet adapter

    If I had the external modem I could get on the internet, but even if I did have it I do not have dial up anymore.
    if I got a serial to ethernet adapter would there be a way to configure the internet when I switch it to linux?

    I don't believe such things exist... Serial is way slower than modern ethernet. Does the laptop have PCMCIA slot(s)?

  • Adding Serial (COM) Port

    I need to add a single 9-pin serial (COM) port to hook up a device that has a serial connector.  The MB has an 16550A electrical connection but no serial port. What should I be looking for?  Most of what I see online are PCI serial cards or ISA-slotted ones.  I assume that if there's an electrical connection there's no need for a PCI board.  Thanks.

    genegold, I just picked up the same board for my HTPC and it came with the com bracket in the box along with a audio out bracket & tv out bracket. Maybe you should check with your supplier to see if you got short changed.
    Wow, this is getting better.  Mine came from ZipZoomFly and doesn't have one, but does have the others you mention.  The serial header is listed as optional in the manual, but with other parts that means if the board has the connection then there should be a bracket.  I'll have to call MSI Monday and ask (and look all around just to see if it dropped somewhere).  Thanks!

  • Telepresence C40 OSD Off - Cant access anything - DO Not have proper Serial cable - Do not know password

    We decided to put an unused C40 back into use and we accidentally turned off OSD when configuring it. Now we cant see anything and get manage to get OSD back. We know the ip address but have been unable to guess the admin password so we can't login using the web interface. Also, I do not even have a serial cable that will fit this device so that is not an option. How do I turn back on OSD with the remote? Any help is greatly appreciated

    Depending on what software version you've got installed on the C40, you may be able to (pre TC7) log on as "root" rather than "admin" via ssh - from there you can remove the /mnt/base/active/config.db which will effectively factory default it when you reboot.
    PS - the serial is a standard 9-pin serial connection, so finding a cable shouldn't be that difficult. The pinout can be found in the C40 Physical Interface Guide.

  • UPS and shutting down servers

    Not sure if this thread should be better posted at the OS X Server forum, but let's try it
    Today I found the time to connect the UPS to our XServe via USB. It worked great, the UPS appears at ServerMonitor and also at the system preference panels energy settings.
    However the UPS has only one USB port, but we have currently two XServes. My intention is to keep the servers running as long as possible till the UPS reaches 25 % left of its energy. Then safely shutting down the servers.
    While it is easy to configure this on the server the UPS is connected, I find no setting for doing so at the other system. Basically the "master" XServe (that connects to the UPS) should shut down its "slaves" (the other XServe specifically).
    I already dealt with a quite old system some time before (Cobalt RaQ) where it was able to set this up (via the MAC addresses if I'm not wrong).
    I would look forward if someone can give me a glue how to realize this on the XServe ?

    >Okay, writing a script... I guess you don't have anything already written
    Nope, sorry.
    >The main problem would be that both servers can communicate with each other only by using their WAN IPs. So we would need to get some security (like authentication with a username and password) additionally.
    If your servers have two NICs, there's nothing preventing you from creating a private network between the two using a simple ethernet cable between them. That way they can communicate privately.
    > When I connect the UPS with an USB hub and on that hub both XServes, could this work ?
    No. USB doesn't support this kind of topology. There can only be one bus master. The other machine won't work.
    >The UPS also has a serial interface, just the XServe lacks of this "old technology"
    On the contrary. The XServe has a 9-pin serial interface on the back. It's normally configured as a console port for out-of-band management but you can configure it as a standard serial port by disabling SerialTerminalSupport (in /System/Library/StartupItems). However, the issue is then how to read the serial port. I'm guessing the software that ships with the UPS is designed to use the USB port and you may be on your own there.
    >By the way, I should mention that the UPS is a Belkin "Universal UPS".
    I don't think it makes a big difference. You'll have the same issues with any UPS vendor.
    The only other option I can think of is a network-aware UPS. Some UPSes (such as those from APC) have a network option where you can query the UPS over the network. It would then be relatively simple to query the UPS via SNMP to gauge its runtime and shut down safely. I don't know if the Belkin has this option.

  • How to redirect the output display on Ultra 5 box.

    Hello,
    Good day to you.
    I have issues with redirecting display output to my console server (which is configured with cyclades switch) on a newly installed solaris 10, Ultra 5 box.
    I could access the output display on the monitor when I connect it directly to the serial port. But I also have my parallel port connected to cyclades switch which is primarily being used for accessing multiple servers thro' one single console server.
    When I try to access my ultra 5 box thro' console server, the display not getting redirected over there..I did checked the port from cyclades switch front, it did work well with other machines.
    Looks like some work needs to be done at Ultra 5 box level so that the parallel port can send output signals to the respective port on cyclades switch and consequently to the console server.
    Any thoughts ??
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Good day to you.
    Apologize for quoting "Parallel" port. It is a in-built 25pin serial connector placed next to regular 15 pin serial port.
    Just to make a point here, this 25 pin serial connector has an external converter attached with other side having RJ45 jack.
    CAT5 cable connected between switch port to this RJ45 jack.
    I did tested this converter with another machine and could able to access the display on my console server. So it seems to be the connectivity from serial port to switch port works fine.
    Adding to that, this ultra 5 box with the current connectivity set up was working fine until I rebuild this machine. I was very well accessing this box thro my console server. There was no changes done except rebuilding the operating system.
    I think some work needs to be done at the ultra 5 box level to get this 25pin serial connector to act.
    Thanks.

  • Printing problems with HP LaserJet 6MP

    Does anyone know if there is a way for my old HP Laserjet 6MP printer to work with my new IMac? It has a 8 pin serial connector and HP no longer offers support for this older printer. They have suggested I buy a HP JetDirect 500x J3265A but those are over $300. Surely there must be a less expensive solution. HP also suggested checking out Strydent Software but I couldn't find anything that seemed applicable.
    I have a Keyspan USB to serial adapter and everything is hooked up. I found my printer on the IMac list but when I try to print it says "Unable to connect to IPP host: Unknown error 0" So I must be doing something wrong......

    Asante used to make a Mac serial to Ethernet device,
    AsanteTalk. If they're still available that may be
    an alternative. They used to sell for $99.00. I
    used one with an HP-4MP printer (which my daughter
    and son-in-law are still using.)
    I think you may try what you are doing but do not use
    IPP printing because you have the printer connected
    to a USB port not an Ethernet port.
    Thanks for the info.
    Another question.... if I hook the printer up through the Ethernet port can I still run DSL through it?
    Also the printer browser forces me to choose either IPP, LPD or HP Jet Direct-Socket.
