We are using an Alge GAz 4 board for the Track and field meet here.

How can I connect the Alge GAZ 4 with the computer when I only have one serial port and we are using the splitter to split for the button and the Track and field Software. Can I split the software side with one connector for the board and the other for the software ?

Thank you

Connect the display output to the serial connector on the Lynx "C" box. If not use a serial splitter adapter.

Into the COM 1 on PC (DB 9 Female)

Pin 5= to Pin 5 on DB 9 male (to connect COM 1 to)
Pin 4= to Pin 4 on DB 9 male (to connect Lynx capture button to)
Pin 3= to Pin 3 on DB 9 male ( to connect Com 1 to)
Pin 2= to Pin 2 on DB 9 male (to connect Com 1 to)
Pin 7= to Pin 7 on DB 9 male ( to connect Lynx Capture button to)
Pin 8= to Pin 8 on DB 9 male (to connect Lynx Capture button to)

In other words you are making a "Y" cable with a DB9 female that connects to the PC. That is then split into a COM1 extension using the normal Pin 2 input and Pin 3 output, Pin 5 ground. The other leg of the "Y" is and extension for the Lynx capture button.
