transmit

[leatherneck61]

Hello All,
New to the Aspect world and this Forum. Not a programmer by trade only an ET. Got a HANDAR Meteorological data platform I am trying to program with ProComm and an Aspect script.

Real simple stuff I thought...HAA HAA.

I hook up @ 300, E-7-1 then send simple letter keystrokes for parameter prompts to program. i.e. "I" allows me to input an ID such as "15C0407E" I tried some simple transmit commands and got stuck!

e.g.
procmain
transmit "I" ; I is the prompt for platform ID
transmit "15C0407E^M" ; this is the platform ID
transmit "K" ; K for a transmit mode prompt
transmit "02^M" ; 02 is the mode I want to enter
endproc

It will not seem to accept the last carriage return. My prompt hangs at the end of the line after '02'? For some fields like the "K" field I then can use a "V" after I enter my data to scroll through and enter subfields.
Hope this makes sense I am really not a programmer! Could be the platform is just quirky We normally just use an ancient programing set but I though I would try and move into the future here! Thanks

Do the same keystrokes work OK when sent manually as opposed to using the script? What terminal emulation are you using within Procomm?

Hey New to this Procomm Plus, once I connect from the modem it shows me that I'm connected, but I can't enter any commands and the connection stays up only for a few mins. Than it say not connected. What i'm I doing wrong. Please could someone help me with this.

How do you know you are connected? Are you seeing something sent by the remote system?
