How to use
the UCAB232 converter
UCAB232 adds an RS-232 interface to a USB equipped
computer.
The converter is designated for all standard RS-232
devices (mouses, modems, data terminals, barcode
readers, serial printers).
After installation the drivers a new COM port device will
be ready to use by software applications in standard
fashion (e.g. Win32 API function calls).
It is possible to set up the UCAB232i COM port number in
the control panels.
