Currently many of the new computers only have USB ports for Serial communication, they have eliminated the older style 9 pin serial connectors, known as DB9 connectors. Turner Designs still supplies Fluorometers and cables with these DB9 serial connectors. If you want to use the USB port on your computer to connect to our Fluorometers, you will need to purchase one of these USB Serial Adaptor Cables. We have developed and tested a Communication Integration Cable that works with our instruments. 

This cable is included as a standard accessory included with the C3 and C6P. This cable works with the Computer Interface Cable P/N 2200-150 allowing users to upload firmware to the instrument using the USB. Either the USB or RS232 male plug can be used to communicate and configure the instrument. It can also be used with Continuous Data Cable P/N 2200-160 to stream data. It can NOT be used with the Digital Convertor Kit. The cable length is approximately 2 feet.
