KTP:

Thank you flolic! (and Jahonen) for the link to the pulse source...reading it now.
Simon:
ok  so I followed rigols example instructions and get nothing ! now I'm using a null modem serial cable, is that the right one ? I hope it is after spending 11 quid !
anthonycroberts:
Simon,

Null modem would be the wrong cable (assuming you're trying to connect to a normal PC serial port).

Cheers,
Tony
miki:
Simon, you shouldn't be using null modem cable (which has crossed signals) but a straight one.

Since you already bought null modem type perhaps you can disassemble one of the connectors (if it's not molded) and try to reverse the order on the TX and RX pins.
Simon:
I knew it ! trust flipping maplin ! any chance of cutting it in the middle and changing the right wires ? or maybe I can pull the plug apart but it "looks" molded, so do I need to rewire the cable so that each connector is connected to the same pin on the other end ?

oh and just to make it clear, the maplin website says straight, the cable sold is null, maplins: home of first class idiots !, like i said before your safer on ebay than with maplin !
