USB or RS232 module?

Hi there,

I'm picking up an AI Lamp from modularled and want the profilux PlusII to control it. So, I'll need an alternate method to get my laptop connected to make changes but can't seem to find either the USB module or the RS232 module on anybodies website. Could you point me to them?

Thanks

PLM-USB Out of stock, its on special order as the last one we sold was nearly 2 years ago.

They may have the RS232 though

Oh, Ok... I'll try them to see if they have the RS232 module

If they don't Is it possible to share the RS232 port. E.g. unplug the AI and plug the laptop in to setup the program, and then plug the lamp back in? Or should I just bite the bullet and buy the AI controller

No thats a waste of money and huge loss of functionality, I would seriously wait.

What sort of functionality would I lose with the AI controller vs hooking it up to the profilux? The money is kind of moot--$80 for the AI controller vs. $80ish for the PLM USB

Would sharing the sole RS232 port work? I don't really hook up to the laptop that often. Is there any risk to the profilux unit if I've designated the rs232 port for the AI lamp in the menu and then plug into my laptop with it?
