Hello all, I received my TBOLT from TAPR and proceeded to stoke it up. However I have not been able to get response from TBOLTMON. I use a laptop with a USB port driving a USB-serial converter marked N287. The laptop, unfortunately, runs VISTA. However I can drive an HP Z3815A with a null modem cable and a GCRU/D with a straight cable, and I can also drive HOBO data loggers with these USB-serial converters. With VISTA there is always a lot of experimenting to find the allocated COM port number and right baud rate etc. Whatever I do I cannot get a response from the TBOLT. Preliminary poking with a CRO probe shows some signals on both pin 3 and pin 2 of the RS232 lead. Is it possible to accidentally put the TBOLT in a state where it does not listen? Does it have RS232 requirements that the serial converted does not fit? I would be thankful of any good suggestions, cheers, Neville Michie
