Hello,
Im trying to control a serial RS232 device with a CRBasic program, first im tryng to send the commands using terminal emulator but cant make it happend, i try with some serial simulators and i can, but with the datalogger is not possible, any idea or hint?
1.- I configure the correct com port in the program and also using device configuration utility
2.- Open terminal emulator, select the baud rate and com port
3.- Select the option "W" and then select the option 9 is "CoMC1" (Im using a CR6 datalogger)
4.- the terminal shows a simbol of ASCCII (y) and then i introduce my commands to send to the datalogger but nothing happens.
5.- Or probably i have something wrong in the command? the command is: SYSTEM:ID? and the manual of the equipment says:
"When the user sends a command, the instrument expects, before processing the message, a carriage return (CR) character (ASCII hexadecimal no 0x0D) or a null character (ASCII hexadecimal no 0x00). So a terminating CR or NULL character is implied with all commands."
I try to introduce the command with all the combinations i imagine but nothing:
SYSTEM:ID? <CR>
SYSTEM:ID?0X0D
SYSTEM:ID?NULL
Any ideas??
Thank you in advance
The 'W' mode in the terminal is a passive watch mode.
Try the 'P' mode for serial talk through.
try P mode
