LabVIEW likes Larry's USB Serial Adapter!


To: • Larrys USB serial adapter,   <-- here is more about our USB-serial adapter and Garmin serial cables and DIY plugs!

Wish I could afford to own LabVIEW but I can't justify another $4000 tool - just for fun so I rely on my customers to tell me how cool it is and if our USB-serial adaptor is working OK. The latest news is, it's cool, and our units work! Here's news from Ken at Harvard University! How cool is that?

Larry, go ahead and add it to your web page.
As an FYI, the device name for the USB dongle is
called ASLR4::INSTR instead of COM4 (or ASLR5:INSTR
instead of COM5).  You can include my e-mail address if
you wish.

  We love Google - even if they list ads that sell other USB adapters in competition with us. No problem, all ours now are made in a translucent purple plastic case so you know it's from us.
