USB to RS232 Serial Adapters. These adapters have a sufficiently large buffer
to accommodate the size of data bundle and bit transfer rate of the Levelogger.
Follow the manufacturer's USB Driver and Com port setup installations found
on the CD accompanying the adapter.

the Levelogger, in most cases the problem is that the adapter does not have a
large enough internal memory buffer. The minimum buffer size should be 96
bytes.
