The UPort 1250/1250I USB-to-serial converters allow you to connect 2x RS-232/422/485 devices to your laptop or workstation through the USB (Universal Serial Bus) port. These plug & play USB solutions are perfect for mobile, instrumentation, and point-of sale applications.
Typical Application—Connecting Instruments in a Medical Lab
In medical labs, research scientists typically collect large quantities of data from many samples using a variety of different instruments. Most research devices have parameters that can be accessed via a serial port for convenient reconfiguration.
Laptops are often used as convenient and space-efficient computing solutions in medical labs, but most modern laptops no longer offer serial ports and only come equipped with USB ports. This presents a connectivity issue unless the USB ports can be expanded into serial ports.
Moxa’s solution is the UPort 1250, which is an RS-232/422/485 USB-to-serial converter that can be used to connect 2x serial interface instruments to a computer’s USB port, and is particularly convenient for medical researchers since advanced technical expertise is not required.
The UPort 1250 has the following features:
2x serial ports for easy USB-to-serial expansion
True USB2.0 high-speed transmission
128-byte FIFO and on-chip hardware and software flow control to ensure stable data transmission
Easy troubleshooting with LED indicators for each serial port
Compatible with both laptops and desktop PCs
