possible that the software application has high demands 

on time response.

The way of communication through USB is very different 

than communication through RS232. USB uses packets 
of 64 B size. Furthermore, a RS-232 device device can 

receive   only   on   PC   request.     Hence   it   is   almost 
impossible   to   assure   time   response   lower   than   about 

1 ms.

Time   response   settings   can   be   done   in 

Control Panel/Device/Manager/Ports/.../Port Settings/ 
/Latency Timer. In case of troubles set this number to 

1 ms.

User OEM 

Application

The UCAB232i converter allows user to design an OEM 

application after which the converter is found and listed 
as a customer hardware. 

For   doing   this,   it   is   necessary   to   modify   drivers, 
particularly, to change the UCAB232i converter VID and 

PID, which are originally set to 0403 / 6001, to customer 
numbers   and   write   these   numbers   with   the   MPROG 

utility to the converter EEPROM.

Before   a   modification   of   EEPROM   it   is   advisable   to 

create   a   backup   of   EEPROM   in   case   there   is   any 
trouble with VID/PID identifiers.
