 The serial output of the downconverter is connected to the serial input of the upconverter. The serial output of the upconverter is connected to a computer via a 3.3V-RS232 level converter. In the computer you can then read all messages. The messages of the downconverter start with header "OLD", those of the upconverter with "UPC". The serial output of the downconverter is connected to the serial input of the upconverter.
