[QUOTE="Satspot, post: 1120953, member: 417005"] I’ve a number of serial to USB adapters here, all with male 9 pin connectors. I’ll try getting a gender changer and see if that works. I have to say, from a manufacturer’s view none of this makes sense. Serial ports on PCs were shelved years ago. A simple inclusion of a 9 pin port on the meter would have been a much simpler option or upgrade via USB key as I suggested. Not surprised it wasn’t a big seller Thanks for your feedback. In the meantime while I’m waiting for a gender adapter I’ll try a USB flash key with the file and see what happens. Now I know why I forgot all about the WS6906 and it wasn’t particularly cheap at the time either. [/QUOTE]
