Hello Time-nuts, Happy New Year,
I am having a problem with my SR620. I am using the RS232 interface to
configure and read the results. I am using my own code, and I am
continually make revisions, updates, (Spelled: E-R-R-O-R) to my code. Every
couple days I manage to scramble the brains of the SR620. When this occurs
the output doesn't make much sense, so I know I did it again. Darn, I hate
when that happens! The symptom is that the command input doesn't return an
answer as expected. I must enter between 5,6 to 35 or more <cr>, <lf>,
characters to get the expected result. Once in this condition it's always
the same amount of <returns>. I have tried various of the documented
commands like *RST, and several others. Nothing works except the dreaded
[POWER OFF] button. Is there a secret sequence or magic three finger button
combination? I have not tried any of the serious calibration, or diagnostic
commands. My firmware is 1.48.
Thanks, Ed WA6RZW
