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.
