You could have the wrong com settings, the wrong command, the wrong (or missing) termination character, the wrong type of cable (two major types), etc.

You have not provided the manual, the command you are sending, the type of cable, or the termination character you are using. Essential information.

Thanx for the response

 

Regarding the Com settings I have set it according to the manual

 

"$01I<CR>"

This was the string which i have sent.

I have connected the serial db9 pin according to the pin diagram given.

 

Sorry for not giving the manual...

If you sent <CR>, then you did not send a carriage return. You sent the text. In MAX, you have to use \r.
