This is a USB to Serial interface cable designed, manufactured and distributed by Celeritous Technical Services, Corp. It was designed as a USB to serial interface cable for communicating with and programming various electronic products.
The output is low voltage TTL and the serial interface connection is a 3.5mm Stereo Plug. It also turns out to be compatible with the LifeScan® OneTouch® series of Blood Glucose Meters to communicate between their PC based monitoring software and their OneTouch® line of meters with data ports.
Celeritous is not affiliated with LifeScan® in any way and this cable was developed entirely independently without reference to their meter cable. It is sold strictly as a USB to Serial data cable that happens to be compatible with these meters.
The cable has been tested with the following meters and has been found to be compatible.
- OneTouch® Ultra
- OneTouch® Ultra2
- OneTouch® UltraSmart
- OneTouch® UltraMini (with data port)
- OneTouch® UltraLink
If you are looking for a price break on one of these cables buy one and think of it as buying a US made product, made by a small US company with a diabetic owner and helping defray the costs of someone else dealing with diabetes.
The USB interface is USB2.0 compatible and comes with drivers for Microsoft Windows 2000, XP and Vista. We also provide drivers for Mac users who use one of the various online monitoring sites. The interface is low voltage to be compatible with the Lifescan meters and has been tested with all of the meters listed above and the
latest software available from their site on all three operating systems. The software is a free download. The USB to Serial cable comes with the cable and driver CD containing drivers and installation instructions.
If you use the Freestyle® Brand of blood glucose meters we also now have a cable that is compatible with that line of meters.
