edition), Windows NT 4.0 with Service Pack 5, Windows ME, Windows XP, Windows
2000 Professional, Windows 2000 Server, or Windows 2000 Advanced Server
operating systems running on Intel or AMD hardware.

USB to Serial Converter
Some newer laptop computers do not have standard serial ports. In this case it is
possible to use a USB to Serial converter. If a serial to USB cable is needed,
Contact Dakota Ultrasonics (pt# N-402-0510).
