QS Series USB Interface Module
The QS Series USB module allows the rapid addition of USB to virtually any device. Housed in a compact SMD package, the module provides a complete solution for converting data between USB and CMOS / TTL logic level serial sources.
Connect your device to a USB port with the QS Series USB interface module. Use it to set up communication between a PC and a serial device such as a microcontroller, Linx RF module or legacy peripheral that has no native USB port.
Benefits
- Connect serial devices: convert CMOS/TTL signals to USB and back again
- Ensure compatibility: Microsoft certified drivers work with Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 10 (32- and 64-bit)
- Integrate with ease: simple hardware configuration lets you translate data without programming
- Streamline production: save time and money with modules that are already tested

Drivers & Software
- QS Series Master Development Software
The latest software included in the QS Series master development system. Demonstrates the use and functionality of the QS Series USB module.
- QS Series Certified Driver Installer
Bundled file; automatically installs the drivers. Certified for Windows 2000, through Windows 10 (32/64)
- QS Series Certified Driver Package
Separate files; no automatic installation. Certified for Windows 2000, through Windows 10 (32/64)
- QS Data Loop Example
This file contains the Visual Basic source code for a program that will send a string of characters to the QS Series USB module and read it back. This program requires that the DATA_IN and DATA_OUT lines on the module be connected together. The software makes use of the direct drivers and shows how to use the functions in a simple routine.
- QS EEPROM Programmer
The QS Series USB module can be programmed to display a custom name, description, and manufacturer ID as well as a unique serial number so that it can be distinguished from other modules on the same bus. The QS Series programmer is an executable that can program this information to the module's onboard EEPROM through the USB bus.
