Author Topic: Ultra Stereo JSD80 cable Richard May Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1057 From: Floral Park, NY USA Registered: Aug 2004 posted 11-29-2008 07:18 AM                     I know I saw this somewhere on here. I'm pretty sure Clint posted it. What is the best cable to use from the USB port on a PC to the serial port on the JSD80?  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 11-29-2008 09:03 AM                     If your laptop has Bluetooth you may want to consider that option. I'm going to try a Bluetooth Serial adaptor out and see how it works instead of the stupiod sometimes works sometimes doesn't serial to usb dongle.

Last JSD80 I installed, had a page in the manual with the details on. Personally I'm using one from Pico Technologies, the PicoScope people. Zero issues with it. http://www.picotech.com/usb_data_acquisition.html Kinoton recomend using an opto isolator on the serial side, http://www.commfront.com/RS232-RS485-RS422-Serial-Converters/RS232-Isolator-3-wire.htm or similar.  |  IP: Logged Ken Lackner Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1907 From: Atlanta, GA, USA Registered: Sep 2001 posted 11-29-2008 05:01 PM                     I use a PC card serial adapter made by Socket Mobile. Works great for all serial communications I need.  |  IP: Logged Clint Koch Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1435 From: San Luis Obispo, CA, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 12-01-2008 12:43 PM                     The model we recomend is CP-US-03 and is made by CP Tech USA  |  IP: Logged Richard May Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1057 From: Floral Park, NY USA Registered: Aug 2004 posted 12-01-2008 04:32 PM                     Thank you Clint.  |  IP: Logged
