    USB to Serial Adapter for data loggin

    I bought a Zeitronix ZT2 with a gauge so I can data log on my stang. Hooked it all up and the gauge works fine. Load all the poop in my laptop and try to view the data. Software loads and it says reading bites but the guages on the laptop don't show shit. I tried uninstalling and re installing and now I can't get the USB to serial adapter software to load. Anyone have a similar set up and use another adapter software or something?

    I have the same issues. Most of my old builds have Haltech E6Ks on them and they use a serial cable so I use an ancient 386 computer for tuning because none of the adapters I have tried have worked. My issue may also stem from needing a DOS compatible computer.

    Magnus, I am your father. You need to ask your mother about a man named Calvin Klein.

      I contacted the support peeps last night and got a response to download the latest driver from the site and see if that works. Will give it a go this weekend. Good to know I am not the only one.

        we have to use these for work interfacing with radios from new laptops (sans serial port), the only device my company will use or support is a SeaLevel SeaLink 2105R usb-rs232 serial converter. i have no complaints about these and have used them for a couple years now.

          ^^^ If this works for me I will owe you big time.

            Just mail me an uzi if so :-D

            If you can get away with a DOS shell, just use a virtual xp machine on your newer laptop. you may have to mount and dismount the USB device manually (since it will likely mount to the physical machine and not the virtual one) but i've used these with a number of products and never really had an issue.

              You are speaking a foreign language to me.

                Basically you can emulate an older OS environment on a newer computer which may give you the ability you need without having to do so on a 386 pc

                  Yeah I am lost too. I have an older laptop with XP on it already so I think I am good. Using a Sewell Direct product.
