#178990 - Framing/voltage issues
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Thanks a million for all the comments. Just reached my office from the site. The site was at a remote place and I panicked.

I thought the device was not able to produce the necessary output voltage when connected to one specific USB port. Another possibility I thought was that, the baud errors were on the opposite sides and the net error was adding up creating some framing issue for a single byte.

Anyway, with PC com port everything worked perfectly. Also, with some USB ports, everything worked perfectly. I actually want to check the pulses with a scope, if I get some time. I have 4 serial to USB adapters, and I had used my best one. Others, some times hang once in 4 or 5 hours, at times. You remove the cable out, and put it back in, and it is ready for action again.

My fundamentals are pretty bad. How does the serial port assemble a single byte asynchronously? How does it handle the input if the local oscillator is running at 2392 and the other guy is sending it at 2412 or something?
