My newly purchased USB-232 cables, serial# BTDD0219 and BTDD020A, when connected to the mt laptop USB (cable(s) all by itself) heated up after about 5 minutes. Initially, Device Manager recognized these cables but after the initial hook up, the RS-232 ends heated up and Device Manager drop the connection. And if I'm fast enough, I can run my MET/CAL program for a few steps until the RS-232 terminal heated up. Then it crapped out!
What's the solution? Please advise.
My other but older cable, same model# 188345C-02, has no issue at all. I had this old cable hooked up on the same laptop and ran all day long without issue!
