Figure 4 shows a typical result. Examine the number of errors. If it seems high, this usually indicated a problem with your USB/Serial converter. You should download the latest drivers available for it. If you are using Vista with a PL2303-based adapter (such as the Uniden USB-1 cable), there are special drivers that are recommended for use with Vista. Using XP drivers on Vista can cause dropped packets and errors.
