Is it possible to create a serial connector that will interface with a device connected by USB to the dataminer server?

Hi Robbie,
Not sure about this, but I believe a USB gets mapped to a COM number on the server when plugged in. That is also visible in the Device Manager when plugging in the USB.
The COM is then also available as Serial port into the wizard. I did not test if communication works through this though.

Ok, guess that you’re quite close then. To me, using a bus address would not really make sense, as you’d only expect a single unit on the serial connection. Others can surely jump in here if we would have used that in the other connectors.
Yeah I know about the COM port but I have no idea if the bus address has to be filled in.
The other settings can be found in the device manager but I don’t get any responses.
Currently my bus address is empty because I can’t fill in a string value (COM3).
