Hello, A related topic. I have an 1502C with the Chart recorder. I see that the chart recorder is connected through a DB25. I wonder if i can connect the pcb directly through the DB25 (maybe with a DB25 to usb adapter) and get the print outs directly to the computer. That would be really helpful! Has anyone tried this? |

This allows the computer to serially communicate with the 1502B/C. There are of course plenty of serial to USB converters available. Attached is the schematic, firmware image and user manual of the SP232 card. So it should be possible to build your own and write a computer interface software to display and control the 1502B/C. I once planned to do so, but got sidetracked with other projects. |

Attached a user manual of a software package where the TDR is used to monitor water content in the soil using such an SP232 module (to show what is possible) |
