NEW ICom CIV Test Tool (need help if you have an icom radio)
 

Hi,

This is a request for minor software testing help from Icom
radio owners.

If you own an icom radio that has a serial cable connected
to your computer, I could use some help testing a little
tool I wrote. The purpose of testing this tool is to see if
my serial code works with your computer and radio.

I'm trying to test a part of SR-Pro that interfaces with
ICOM radios. This test tool has code that will be used
inside SR Pro after it is finished being tested.

I will also be adding support for other radios but I'm
starting with ICOM since I have an ICOM hooked up to the PC
right now.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

That was fast. Are you using Windows XP?

Thanks for helping me test it!

Tried it on Windows ME it required 2 dll's
"mfc71.dll" and "msvcr71.dll" I installed them
and got the CIV test tool but it would not connect
"not responding"

Oh, I hope it's not bugs in my prog. If so, I'll have to
figure out why Win/ME is different. Supposedly it should
even work on '95, but that might be too optimistic.

I just uploaded another copy in a zip file which is a debug
build with more error checking, (and no longer needs the
..dlls). If you happen to get a chance, could you try the
debug version on Win/ME to see if that one crashes or
reports any errors? If you get a chance, that would be
great. But you've already helped me a lot and I really
appreciate it.

That's already been figured out - it's a bug disguised as an operating
system. :)

;v)

It's my bug until I prove otherwise...unfortunately. Some
people say "don't use overlapped I/O when using serial
ports". Others (including Microsoft) say to use it. Who
knows. I'll get it fixed in time by the "puling out hair and
banging my fists on the table" method.

I've been doing serial I/O (in software) since before BASCOM, yet I've
never come across "overlapped I/O", as a term. Do you mean handling 2
ports simultaneously? What language? How are you doing the I/O?
(ocx? raw code?) (The program I'm currently working on does serial
and internet simultaneously, but that's not the same thing.)
