Usul
What version of Lookout are you using?What type of flow computer are you connecting to? What is the baud rate used? What is the communication type, i.e modem or straight serial connection? what is the polling rate?
Here are a few troubleshooting tip:
- Make a display for the Update and COMMfail datamember
- make sure that the poll rate is not too fast indicating that the device cannot keep up with the request sent trough the serial port. One way to make sure of that is to create a serial diagnostic file:

You will be able to see frames of request/responses between lookout and the device,as indicated in the document.
Hope that helps.
