I recently had my hard drive go down on my old Compaq laptop (w/

adapter as a backup to download my files. This worked just fine.
However, not having the laptop interface was making me nervous.
In the past, I have had ZERO luck with laptops and USB to Serial
adapters (hence the old Compaq), but thought I’d give it a go one more
time. I’ve wanted a Netbook, so I went to Costco and picked up an
Acer. The following setup worked flawlessly with the SN10B.
Acer AO532h-2268 Netbook (Costco $299.99)
-Windows 7 starter
-Bios upgraded to v1.24
-upgraded ram Corsair 2GB DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) / Newegg ($44.95)
* *http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820233079
-all Windows 7 updates installed
Belkin F5U409-CU (Amazon.com $38.99)
-Vista 32bit drivers directly from Belkin
Baud rate set to 4800 / Com port 3
Glad this is working. Two comments:
(1) We *really* recommend getting the SN10-USB adapter.
Avoids any need for serial ports or computers at the airfield.
(2) Avoid 64-bit windows: I haven't got confirmation the
USB-serial drivers work, and our installer programs do not
(requires manual installation of SN10 utilities).
Hope this helps,

Hi
I just went trough this last month. I got a Radio Shack cable to
work but not the Staples one. After a lot of problem I found
the choice of com port was critical. My laptop has 29 com but all the
com from 0 to 6 did not work. My LX 5000 install
itself on com 18 for what ever reason but manually I got com 7-9-10 to
work. Also my old laptop had only 3 com. Plugging the cable before I
open the program LXE I use to connect to the instrument did not work.
Now it is the opposite I have to plug the cable before I open the LXE
program otherwise it install itself on com 3 and the instrument does
not reconize it. I hope this help.
