Looking for cable info - serial logger to serial adapter
« on: February 10, 2021, 07:52:09 PM »
I'm sure this has been covered, but I cannot find it. What is the cable that goes from the serial data logger plug to the Davis serial port adapter? It is a 4 conductor cable I think? It needs to be a female plug at the logger end and a male plug at the adapter end. I can make a cable probably if I knew what plugs to use and the schematic. Thanks in advance for any help!

The serial logger has a 4P4C plug, so you require a 4P4C jack on that end and a 6P4C plug on the other end (of 4 core modular flat cable) which plugs into the Davis serial adapter (6P4C to 9 pin serial). Cable orientation simply follows the 4P4C colours as straight through.
