No. Although the OneTouch USB Cable was more recently introduced, it is not considered an upgrade from the serial cable. Rather, it is a distinct product. The two types of cables are equivalent in quality.

No. The OneTouch USB Cable is not compatible with IN TOUCH® Software, which is no longer distributed. Only the OneTouch Serial Cable is compatible with IN TOUCH.

USB” is short for “Universal Serial Bus.” A single USB port can be used to connect up to 127 peripheral devices, such as mice, modems, and keyboards. USB also supports plug-and-play installation and hot plugging. Originally, the OneTouch Interface Cable was available only in a 9-pin serial version. Some newer computers are produced with only USB ports, which is why LifeScan introduced a USB cable in 2004.

Both provide equivalent communication for all our meters. The distinction is that each kind of cable is intended for a different kind of connector to the computer. Some newer computers do not provide serial ports, which is why we introduced the USB version of the OneTouch Interface Cable in 2004.

I've connected the USB to Serial adapter but it's on Com Port 5 (or higher) and your software only has Ports 1-4. This issue applies to the c\temp software only. This has been resolved with the new version of the MDAS-Pro software. If you do not have a copy of this software, please contact us.

Yes, the OneTouch USB Cable can be used with a hub, rather than connected directly into a port on the computer. With the 9-pin serial cable, just plug it into your meter and the serial port (COM port) of your computer. You may need to restart your computer if another device had been using the serial port. With the OneTouch USB Cable, you must install a software driver before using it for the first time.

Version 1.0 of the driver should be uninstalled from the same CD used to install it. Insert the CD and search on it for a folder named "Uninstall." Open the folder and double-click on the file named DRemover.exe. Follow the instructions as prompted. (If you have misplaced your CD, contact LifeScan's Data Management Line at 800 382-7226; we can send a replacement CD or walk you through the process of doing a manual uninstall, if you prefer). If you installed Version 2.

If you did not receive a serial cable with your Cisco 675 or 678 modem, contact the Qwest Broadband™ support center at 1-800-247-7285.

Connecting the digitizer with Serial (RS232) or USB will be determined by the application software you are using with the digitizer. Please consult your application support for assistance.

This special cable is required to transfer data from your meter to your computer. Two types of OneTouch Interface Cables are available: A 9-pin serial cable and a USB (Universal Serial Bus) cable. Each works with a different connector on a computer. Our cables are approximately 6 feet long. A OneTouch Interface Cable can be ordered online or through the mail.

The maximum length for a USB cable is 5 meters (197 inches). The power transferred through a USB cable that is greater than 5 meters in length will start to decrease, and the device may not function properly.

Yes. A separate, Keyspan brand USB adapter can be purchased for your board. The adapter attaches to the end of the serial cable provided and then connects to your computer. The USB adapter can be purchased through GTCO or your local reseller.

A standard 9 pin serial port on a computer has a maximum speed of 115Kbps(115,200 bits per second). USB easily beats that with a maximum speed of 12Mbps (12,000,000 bits per sec) and USB 2.0 with 480Mbps (480,000,000). Back To Questions

Serial Port to MIDI Cable -- this adaptor cable will connect your PC's serial port (RS-232C) to any Roland instrument that has a "computer port." Item: 362CP6 Buying a pre-made one is far easier than making your own. If you don't want to use MIDI cables, this is the way to go. You will have to install a serial/MIDI driver for it to work. Be sure to download the most recent driver for your system. Additional info on cable requirements is here.

The serial cable of standard package in LB-8000 is 5 meters. You also can build your own serial cable up to 15 meters.

If you place any value on your time, I wouldn't particularly recommend it, but pfranc does make the necessary connectors available.

A USB cable may be used with a USB-to-Serial (9-pin) conversion cable. For Window? 98, NT, 2000 & ME these conversion cables usually require that an software program (included with the cable) be installed on the PC in order for the computer to recognize the cable. Window? XP (or higher) usually does not require the cable software.

The USB cable (I-USB7) provided with the Optio43WR is also compatible with other Pentax Optiocameras such as the Optio550, Optio555, OptioS, OptioS4 OptioS4i and Optio40.

The CDU550 is provided with a system whereby by connecting both USB ends, the modem receives more power thereby extending its signal strength slightly. This is only really necessary in fringe coverage areas. Please see the manual for a complete guide to connecting your CDU550.
