Overview

The National Instruments USB-232 and USB-485 transform your

Universal Serial Bus (USB) port into asynchronous serial ports for

communication with serial devices. The NI USB-232 and USB-485

are available in either 1, 2, or 4-port versions and use standard

RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 communications. All products include

driver software for Windows 2000/XP. You can install and use the

USB-232 and USB-485 as standard serial ports from your existing

applications or with applications written with NI-VISA.

versions feature software-selectable

DTE or DCE transceiver modes, as well

as an automatic transceiver detection

mode, or Auto232. The USB-485

features software selectable biasing;

therefore, you can turn biasing on and

off for each port through software.

Visual Basic, Visual C++, and Excel, as

well as National Instruments LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI and

Measurement Studio, can access the serial ports using standard

serial I/O functions.
