I'm trying to bring the Win32 version up to date with the graphical version, but am dealing with a bug that apparently puts the Thunderbolt into some kind of mode where it returns junk data over the serial line. My Win32 build runs for a minute or so, draws some graphs that don't make sense, and then I have to go into TBoltMon.exe and do a warm reset to make it resume sending normal serial updates.
Is this basically what the DOS version normally looks like (attached), obvious errors aside? -- john, KE5FX > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]on > Behalf Of Magnus Danielson > Sent: Saturday, January 31, 2009 4:18 PM > To: Discussion of precise time and frequency measurement > Subject: Re: [time-nuts] Lady Heather Update > > > Mark Sims skrev: > > Hello again Magnus, > > Hi Mark, > > > If the program is started up and it is not seeing the Tbolt on the COM > > port you should see the "Log: OFF" indicator, two lines of text that > > are the plot area header, and the plot axes/grid.
