Mark - Serial Plugin event #16

[Promixis]

Hi Mark,

I am using the serial plugin. The plugin generates event number 16 - it seems when the phone rings. The plugin doc doesn't list an event number 16 so I just wanted to check with you.

I'm a bit confused. Do you mean the event string is "event number 16" or the event string is "16" or some thing else?

Is there a modem attached to the phone line? Is that the serial device you are monitoring? Does the modem generate the data string "event number 16" when the phone rings?

Sorry, too much sun will do this to you. :D

Guess I could have been a little more specific... ;)

The modem is attached to the phone line. When modem event is enabled, I have a lua script print serial value which is 16. This seems to happen when the phone rings. Any time there is a modem event, the number 16 is printed - I never see any other events.

I finally got back to doing PC stuff.

16 = 0x10 which is the indicator for CTS. Unfortunately, you provbably read the crappy serial plugin documentation. :( It is wrong. I will fix the doc (here comes rev 3.0.14!).

Until then, please give the latest plugin (http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/girderplugins/Serial.3.0.13.zip?download) a try. It should generate both a non-0 and 0 event for each modem event.

EDIT: not DSR, CTS!!!
