I recently upgraded my computer and it only has USB ports but no serial ports. I know have a USB cable to program my Mitsubishi FX PLC. Is there a way to use lookout and instead of using hardwired COM ports to monitor the PLC. I have lookout 6.0.

That really would not help me. I have USB connection to the PLC I have a USB port on my computer. The PLC software uses USB no problem. Lookout uses Serial COM ports. I would like to Use Lookout on this setup to comunicate to the PLC from the computer using only USB is it possible. Or do I have to use old cables to connect to new things. In the past I used serial cables and the solution you gave me just fine but the newer products are getting away from serial cables and using only USB.
