[WT-support] Serial communication log available?

[Jan R Andersson]

Hi Larry,

And thank you for that information! Most useful!

What I see is this in the COMxx_debug.txt file is data only going out from
Win-Test, not in: (Only "->" and no "<-")

2016/03/09-10:36:26: Initializing COM port #10: 38400 3-0-0

But a Serial Port Monitor program I have shows data going in both
directions:

The Com port's status signals are the same when using either a virtual USB
com port provided by the Remoterig device or a physical com port in the PC.
The physical Com port works ok, the virtual seems not to be able to deliver
data from the radio/Remoterig device to Win-Test.

What do you make of that?

Create a [Debug] section in the wt.ini file, and a key following this syntax
:

[Debug]
COMxx=a

or

COMxx=h

a = ASCII / h = Hex and xx is obviously the COM port number.

A "debug log" will be written in the /cfg directory.

Regarding your specific issue, as it is working with "legacy" serial, but
not with USB, I'm wondering if it could come from some handshake settings
that could block the stream somewhere.

Hope this helps.
