content: Is there any reason you're not connecting to it via the USB port on the scope? That will avoid any USB - RS232 converter compatibility problems.

content: I had this problem recently and my only solution was to buy a real FTDI to RS232 solution on amazon,my issues were between the pl2302/3 drivers no longer supported, fake ftdi's suddenly having a zero id for USB pid/vid and chx units just not working due to no charge pump for the rs232 side.all solved using a real fdti solution, if you are lucky you might even find a fdti/max232 unit and those are ultra reliable.darkspr1te

content: The fake ftdi id problem is well known FTDI gate ..........You can recover it using ftdi prog ....And use older drivers who wont mess your "non genuine" adapter, just need to lock win 10 from upgrading drivers ....

content: it means you have drivers / visa / ivi drivers installatin problems re-install everything, and be sure your usb cable drivers are there tooor buy a good one / genuine ... i was tired to battle microsoft sneaky update(s) who where destroying my fake non genuine FTDI cable,bought some costly one, no problems sinceeverything is there at rigolhttps://www.rigolna.com/products/digital-oscilloscopes/1000/go to the download section ....unless you use some obscure software or else AND you have 4 kinds of ultrascope SW choose the right oneI use them and i have installed Rhode Shwartz Visa package, way smaller than NI Visa and works very well with many instruments / brandstried on Win 10 and Win11 64 bits
