RS232 in a Box RS232 in a box has been designed for engineers trying to sort out the ever-trying problems associated with RS232 hardware. These problems are usually associated with non-standard interfaces - commonly found during product development. RS232 in a Box contains all the basic information and hardware required to connect equipment together. Various adapters are provided to enable gender and 25/9 way cables and connectors to interface. An RS232 mini tester is provided to assist in unscrambling the TX, RX, CTS, DTR pins etc. A pair of 9 way D connectors with screw terminals are included to enable custom interface patches to be quickly tested prior to making up the final cable. The RS232 in a Box also comes with a booklet describing the interface, protocol, problems and solutions and some application ideas for custom testers. These testers - 300 baud repeater, mouse stick, data logger, XON/XOFF tester and ASCII monitor - are based on the PIC Micro and source code is provided on the accompanying 3.5" disk. RS232 in a Box is supplied in a rugged carrying case to help ensure the contents are not lost or damaged.
