USB to RS-232 interfaces
There are several USB to RS-232 adapters available for use on computers that are
not fitted with or not equipped with sufficient RS-232 interfaces. Depending on the
instrument configuration, operation of all accessories may require the use of two
RS-232 interfaces:
An RS-232 interface is required for operation with the SPS 3 autosampler
Another RS-232 interface is required for software control of the ETC 60
Electrothermal Temperature Controller.
Other modem and LIMS system may be also connected to the available RS-232
NOTE
COM ports.
Where there are not enough RS-232 interfaces to support all the devices that use
these COM ports, an acceptable alternative is to use a USB to RS-232 adapter.
To use a USB to RS-232 adapter:
1
Install the USB-RS-232 device according to the manufacturer's specification.
2
Right-click on Start and then select Device Manager. Locate the COM USB
Com port and open Properties.
3
Select the Port Settings tab and open the Advanced settings.
4
Set the COM PORT number to 1 to 4 using an available number from the drop-
down list. If the numbers are already used, you have to set one of the other
Com ports to a higher number and then set the one you are going to use to the
vacancy created.
SpectrAA software only accepts values from 1 to 4.
