Hi Jeremy,

Thank you for posting your question about using the Plugable USB serial adapter with your DAQ. In looking up the manual for the ADAM 4018M, I notice that it requires a RS-232/RS485 Converter between the COM port and the DAQ.

If you are using one of these, I would suggest taking a look at the COM port settings, especially baud rate. The factory default setting for the converter is 9600 baud. The manual for the DAQ is here:

If you are using the converter, and the port settings for the USB to serial converter match the settings for the RS-232/RS485 Converter, let me know, and we can troubleshoot more deeply.

Thank you,
