Title: Adv Serial Data Logger
Post by: Steve Sturdevant on February 15, 2010, 11:58:16 PM
I'm trying to use the ASDL with a Air Quality meter.  Rae systems QRAE.

I can't seem to get a response on COM 6.  When I use Hyperterminal to COM 6 and type "r" I get the correct response.  I configured the ASCII data query plugin to specify a request
that  contains R.
Here are the config screens:

Is it possible you need to activate hardware flow control? Could you download our Advanced Serial Port Monitor and monitor in the spy mode data exchange between HT and your device?

I don't see any data interchange, however if I go to manual and put a r in the send block, click send, I get back the data just as I want it.

Did you compare flow control settings in the data logger and the monitor? Could you create a backup copy of your logger configuration (from the File menu) and attach it here (just change file extension to txt before).

Here is the config file.  The monitor was set up without flowcontrol.

Please, disable the "Spy" mode within the datalogger on the "COM Port" page

That seems to have done it.

Thanks
