Programming Using Computers With No Serial Ports
Newer PCs and laptops are now being made without serial ports. For those computers to
program the TDFM-7300-3, a USB to serial adaptor will be required. USB to serial adaptors can
be found at most computer stores.
To use the adaptor, plug in the USB cable and install the USB to serial driver on the target PC.
The driver is usually supplied with the adaptor on a CD. This will create a “virtual serial port.
Once the adaptor is installed on the PC, find out what com port has been created by the adaptor.
Usually it will be Com 3, Com 4 or Com 5.
Refer to the PC’s operating system “Device Manager”.
The serial port will have to be set in the CPS software before programming can take place.
Start the CPS software, then click on VIEW then OPTIONS. Click on the MAIN tab and go to the
bottom pull down menu called “Port Selection”.
Select the com port that is the virtual port created by the adaptor. Click APPLY, then OK.
The CPS should now work with the USB to serial adaptor.
