Does anyone know if a 9 pin female on both ends have the same pin outs.
1 to 1 and 2 to 2 and so on?

I am trying to run some software and it says it can't read the freq.

Does standard RS-232 cable have the same pin outs on both ends?

Thanks

Steve




There are two type . One is straight thru i.e. pin 1 -- pin1 etc


The other is called a null modem cable and has crossovers i.e. pin 2 --
pin 3 an vice versa.


The one you need depends on the type of RS232 interfaces you are trying to
connect. DTE to DCE or DTE to DTE or DCE to DCE. Take a look here for
diarams of both types and information about the terms associated with the
RS-232 standard
