RS232 communication separate batch of commands

[monky]

   Hi!

   I have a device which sends more than 20 parameters through the r232 interface to pc.
   I have a set of commands in an array and i sent them to the device one by one.
   I recevied serious of response from the device and i displayed them in the PC.
   Now my probelm is, after a certain time stamp(4 or 5 min) device sends only the RS/RG commands back, not the
   real response.Device is configured to reset the output data's for every 10 min.
   As for as i tested with the device and TCL/TK data aquisition software,
   I could make sure that i have no problem in the timer. For the same baudrate,
   intervel and delay, device responce is appropriate and it meets the expected result/response.

   I have one more problem,

  Insteed of sending the batch of commands, i tried to split them into several arrays. But i have no mechanism to

  jump immediately from one set of array to antoher set of array of RS/RG commands.

  From the code which i have attached with this message,

  At Line number 1070,

  I send the first set of array  and i revecie the responce from the device.

   At line number 960,

   based on the command button, it should be cabale to shit the ´

   CMD_array1 or CMD_Array2.

   But i always have problem, even i clicked the different command buttons, i could't shift immediately from one array to another.

   It is a crucial problem for me pls help me......

hello monky,

could you narrow down the problem description a bit.
from the lines you quoted i cannot see, what the problem might be. it seems that there are many empty call backs.

kind regards,

 well. yyah..! it is my mistake in line number.
 
 Now,

 In the line number 1145, I wrote in the comport
 
  like,,,

  CMD_Array[]={
                   
                   "RS_Password 0\r\n",
                   "RG_AirTemp1\r\n",
                   "RG_AirTemp2\r\n",
                   "RG_RelHumid1\r\n",
                   "RG_RelHumid2\r\n",
                   "\x01\r\n"
                    };  

 In line number 1125, I wrote the another array of RS/RG commands,

  like...

  CMD_Array1[]={

                     "RS_Password 0\r\n",
                     "RG_FanRPM\r\n",
                     "\x01\r\n"
                    
                  };

 
  Assume that i get the responces for the first array 'CMD_array' from the device..
  During this process, Sometimes i need to stop the CMD_Array of commands and i have to send the
  'CMD_Array1' and i have to receive the respose from the device.
  but, my problem is, i could't immediately shift from the CMD_Array to CMD_Array1. When motor_flag==2,
  I have to send the RG_FanRPM to the device. but i saw that my code is sending still 'CMD_Array' (RG_AirTemp1,RG_AirTemp2)

  It is a crucial problem in my work..please help me..

Thank you in advance,

hello monky,

maybe you should insert a "FlushOutQ (1);" to clear
the outputbuffer if the comport.
