Thanks for the report on that, Charles. I use the Craft connector for monitoring with BTMon rather than the RS-232 port. It appears the Craft output, while spontaneously emitting alarm/events, does respond to queries from BTMon on the Craft input. Do you happen to have a RS-422/485 interface? I don't, but I'm interested to see if any spontaneous output occurs on the TOD port.
