It is extremely easy to use, portable, and transportable. It allows you to spend more time doing your real job.

Monitoring Flexibility

The RS-232 ComProbe II provides customers a great deal of flexibility in tapping into Async RS-232 bus configurations to address different monitoring situations.

The RS-232 ComProbe II can be used:

• Directly in-line or
• Connected via a combination of a provided Y-cable (enabling a quick connection to permanent or semi-permanent tap into the communication line) and/or the 6 foot RS-232 extension cable.
• Some monitoring situations may require a pair of 25-pin to 9-pin adapters which are also included in the product.

You can find more information on how to use these cables for various monitoring situations on our Cable Setup page. An example of an in-line asynchronous RS-232 monitoring application is shown here.
