communication

[TOOLDEV]

I have an older Maho 600 e.

Sending programms to the machine has always been touch and go.

Sometimes I get it right, the next time I get an error, play around and get it right.

however, I don't have a clue as to what gets it right.

Is anybody out there with a MAHO 600 E

I could talk to about the settings and what

comm programm is being used to sent data.

Haven't used a Maho but I have a lot of experience communicating with funky machines.

try these;

-check all protocol bindings (baud rate, com port, parity, stop bit, data bit settings.) Make sure what is going out is what the machine wants to see.

_check all connections for tightness.

-use a good cord. (Belkin is good) as short as possible. Don't hang it on the floresecent lights.

-if you are using Mcam's communicator, select DOS mode and echo terminal emulation.

-set EOL to delay. Start at say .03 and increase in tenth second increments. The goal here is to match sync rates between machine and computer.

-try the Dos version of QMODEM SST. The new windows version is full of junk. Dos is the simplest way to and from your computer and machine. If you can't find one, I can email you a copy.

good luck

Thanks Mopar,

You have mentioned some very good points,

I have replaced the cable, (the old one was made up of a short one that had the "switch"

in it, and 2 straight through extensions.)

after that it worked a lot better. However

It is too early to say that, that was the root of all problems.

I would appreceate it if you could E-mail that program. also, If it is ok with You,

I would like to E-mail You direct in case I have a problem down the road.

Regards

Peter

Go to these sites and download:

I have had things corrupt in email before.

have fun

Thank You,

after burning the midnight oil last night,

I actually got it right. It even works with each of My comm programs.

The main reason was a decrease in boud rate from 2400 to 1200 (besides shortening the cable etc.)

Great!! I'm glad things are working.
