As RS232 is now a legacy protocol for communications, it's it highly likely that
customers using RS232 on the AT5600 will use a USB to RS232 converter to
interface with your PC.
As the AT5600 generates high voltages and is commonly used in environments
where high voltage and EMC noise is present, we recommend using an optically
ISOLATED USB-RS232 converter.
Voltech recommends the STAR TECH converter
