Yes, Russell, I thought of that.  I first need to install the driver for
the usb-serial device, recall how I did that on the laptop, and try to do
it the same way.  But I will pursue that when I get access to the desktop.

Is there a line on the usb that should be bouncing up and down when RXD  is
bouncing?  BTW, I notice that the designations rx/tx seem to switch
depending on which instrument the terms are referred to.  The schematic I
have clearly shows that the designation RXD applies to the data line out of
the dmm.  TXD is the line sending stuff into the dmm.  I am assuming that
this is OK since I clearly see 10 groups of pulses out of the dmm when I
send the command --samples 10.
