So i have just received a new notebook and i need to connect it to a data logger machine which i will be placing out in rivers, collecting data about the river through a cable from the data logger.
The cable is the same shape, and similar to a blue VGA screen cable, however, this cable has 9 pins instead of 15. The connector is female.
This picture shows both ends of the cable. The male is plugged into a female port on the data logger leaving the female (rusty) available for use.
The VGA port on my laptop is 15 pin and is also female.
My questions are:
a) can i receive data through this port?
b) is it possible to buy a 9 pin male to 15 pin male connector if this is the port i need to use?
thanks in advance
