The simplest cable for the Bayer Contour TS glucometer

nietomek 
Hello,

I wanted to present a simple and proven (using the GLUCOFACTS Deluxe v3.05 program) cable to read data from the Bayer Contour TS glucometer.

 

Of course, there is nothing extraordinary here, and his advantage lies in simplicity. For anyone who needs to archive measurements from time to time and has a computer with an RS-232 port, it will be an interesting alternative to a rather expensive USB cable.
The construction (if it can be called that) is my idea and it arose from the need of the moment.
The resistor values are "by eye" so you can substitute something similar. The transistor is any PNP silicon (with 9600bps each can give advice).

Regards T.

And are you sure that your cable to the meter will not falsify the result? [Read more]

And how can the cable be falsified in the case of digital transmission in this case? Please, do not write nonsense. [Read more]

Or perhaps at the beginning I thought that the digital transmission is not interfering but it can affect the analog measurement by introducing interference, eg if it will be connected to the PC during... [Read more]

Did anyone know about the soft? It is used for ripping measurement results and not measuring in on-line mode. [Read more]

You can use USB-> RS232 eg Unitek Y-105 for this adapter. ;) [Read more]
