Deep · February 2nd, 2018, 07:42 AM

Hello,

I have TAJIMA TMFN-1212*and I dont know*what kind of port is it (screen) and how to use it?
Maybe it's a COM port?

Look like an serial(COM) port.
Normally is used to load designs in to machine memory used an external disk or USB reader.

Thanks for reply.
This port looks broken - missing "pin" numbers 1 and 9 (look at the screen)

Will this port work properly?
How can I test it now?

I would like to connect a female and female COM adapter to it and connect it to a USB adapter or directly to a computer.
Will it work correctly then? If not, how should I do it?

Are many models of serial cable,connection.
Not all the pins are used.

You can not connect directly to an computer !
Need an special cable and software to load designs in to machine memory.
PULSE software had this facility,and maybe WILCOM,or another special software.

Thanks for fast reply,
I have "dedicated" DG/ML by Pulse soft, so its not problem, but what kind of cable should I use?
Null modem should it work as well?
