Part Numbers
In order to accomodate new computers which use USB connectors for serial ports rather than the 9 pin "D" connector, Chronmix has developed a USB converter to transfer data between Chronomix equipment and computers. The converter uses a 9 pin "D" connector on the equipment side and a USB connector on the computer side. A serial cable is required between the equipment and the converter. Any existing Chronomix data cable which has a 9 pin "D" connector for connecting to a computer may be used. If you do not have the appropriate serial cable, the part numbers are as follows.
| Cable | Connectors | Part Number |
| CC737 to Converter | Stereo Plug to 9 pin "D" | 110-0013 |
| CT600 to Converter | 9 pin "D" to 9 pin "D" | 110-1041 |
| CC7300 to Converter | 5 pin DIN to 9 pin "D" | 110-0037 |
| CC2000 to Converter | 4 pin AMP (F) to 9 pin "D" | 110-1021 |
| CC3000 to Converter | 4 pin AMP (M) to 9 pin "D" | 110-1029 |

The computer will detect the new device and prompt you for a driver. Select "SEARCH FOR THE BEST DRIVER FOR YOUR DEVICE" and press "NEXT". On the next dialog box, select "SPECIFY A LOCATION" and then click the "BROWSE" button to find and select the folder where you unzipped the driver files.
