[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 960037, member: 176704"] .bin FYI, I bought a UGreen USB (at the PC end) to RS232 DB9 male (connects to the USB-to-RS232 female lead supplied with the WS-6906) conversion lead from Amazon - see [URL]http://www.amazon.co.uk/Converter-Adapter-Chipset-Compatible-Driverless/dp/B00QUZY4WO/ref=sr_1_5?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1454001260&sr=1-5&keywords=usb+to+RS232[/URL]. It works well, but you do have load the USB driver from the small CD supplied with the lead - don't use the generic driver which Windows will load or , when the "Upgrade.exe£ file from the small CD supplied with the meter is fired up, it will not recognise that there is a COM Port 7 for the conversion lead - so put the conversion lead CD in the CD/DVD drive BEFORE you connect the lead to the PC USB port, and then everything should go OK when you then connect that lead to the one supplied with the meter. After that I was able to load the "Upgrade.exe" file which is on the small CD supplied with the meter and do a data dump from the meter and then load the new file supplied by Paul (although it took a couple of tries before I got the process right).
