Long ago, Nostradamus foresaw that on Jan 31, Oliver Kluge would write:
There is no handshake. The record length is 80 bytes. The UPS does not
send the 80 byte record until you ask it to. So you just need a buffer
with 81 bytes for the data. The COM driver is returning too soon, and
doesn't
have a big enough buffer.
Well, I never see any communicaation with 80 bytes. And upsc fortress does
give correct looking information once communication is established.
That is why it isn't working for you. (I don't mean you personally,
I mean the driver isn't working in your situation.)
While in one sense, your problem is much more serious than mine,
in another sense, it is much better being highly repeatable!
