ATR program

[Mex_J]

Hi,

I want to communicate with a Climate Chambre over RS232 in Diadem, I programed a VBSccript to do this but it takes a bit to long to recieve the information. So I tried to proram a ATR file, which should be very simple but I ran into a problem:

I need to send this string to the Climate Chambre and it sends back the Temperature:     $01I <CR><LF> 

my code looks like this:

init

  SET com1 TO=500 EOL=\013

end

input

  write com1 "$01I"

  read com1 "%AR"

end

as you can see my problem is with the <LF> I´ve tried "$01I\013\010" , EOL=\013\010 and many other strings with no success.

thank your for your help

HiJohn,

did you try this:

EOL=\10

write com1 "$01I$0D"

or

write com1 "$01I$0D$0A"

Thanks for your help,

I found the the problem, the string I was trying to send  was "$01I" and the ascii character "$" is represented by \036 so,

I just sent:

EOL=\010

Write com1 "\03601I\010"

now it works 🙂
