Connect RS232 devices to your Visor or Palm. Most handhelds have limited serial ports, and their connector shapes are non-standard. Visor®, for instance, only supports 3 of the 9 pins. These handy ports have a standard DB9 connector to fit your existing cables. All 9 pins work like a PC.

Replace paper & pencil, leave your laptop at home

If you work in a research facility, engineering office, manufacturing plant, or out in the field, you won't want to be without this cartridge. So much equipment has RS232 ports: scales, voltmeters, pH meters, spectrographs, digital read-out boxes, air gauges, humidity and temperature sensors, GPS systems, HVAC units and more...

You can now plug these directly into your Palm or Visor. The DataGet software lets you convert the ASCII data into numerical measurements.

If you have never tried to collect data before, this is a great way to start. You supply the Palm, and the standard cable for your gauge, and this package takes care of the rest. Once you have collected your data, you can upload it to Excel, Access, or text files on your PC.
