Thanks Norm!
I do have a "newer computer with both USB and RS-232. If I look at the pulse width from the sensor with a Saleae Logic Analyser the pulse width from the sensor is very short an looks almost like it is at 2.4 MHZ although not closely spaced! The sensor clock is at 32,768. Since I am only displaying the data from the sensor I would think that a baud rate of 9,600 should be good? Don't really know for certain, never ran into this before. If I keep all the wires short (1' or less) everything seems to work fine. I just need to go a longer distance to read the sensor without having to build something complex and involved.

Best, Ed
