EXTERNAL CONTROL - USB
Posted: Mon Sep 17, 2012 4:48 pm
I have been using XNote for almost 1 year, with external control & Excel and it has always worked fine with tabletop PC's with serial RS232. Now I wish to use it with laptops (less clutter on the lab workbench) but almost all modern laptops do not have the serial connector. I have been using old Thinkpads (IBM 600E or IBM T20 / T30) which have the serial input. With newer laptops I have tried the USB to COM adapter (Prolific Technolgy) to try and have external control work on USB imputs, but it does not work.....
Why you do not implement USB inputs? It would be a smash!
With USB you could implement CHRONO outputs as well and then this software would be miles ahead of the competition.
