I have been having some problems with controlling an Aquavision 26" via RS232 with RTI, and was hoping someone might be able to help.
First off, I know the commands I am trying to send are correct, and know they are getting to the TV in the en-suite.
When connecting my laptop to the TV using TerraTerm I can turn the tv on and off with commands, POWR00 & POWR01.
When connecting my laptop at the TV I read the correct commands coming from my RTI XP-8.
Yet put the two together and nothing.
So I connected my laptop to the TV and tried again with TerraTerm and everything works fine. So I decided to use some of my other control software to check they all work. They do not. I tried Commaster, 232Anaylzer and Docklight, none work. Whenever I send a code I get a partial echo of what I sent before, "PW1" PR0" etc.
I tried putting in a character delay, nothing. I know TerraTerm includes a null command at the end, which I put in and still nothing.
I then realised I had a 40" AquaVision in stock and tried that on site. Everything works fine ! So I got a replacement believing the unit I had was faulty, and still the same bloody problem with the new unit.
I am really really baffled at the moment, I can't believe I have two faulty units yet the 40" works ? All my other equipment is being controlled fine via RS232 on this site, I tried a second RTI XP-8 and still no luck. Aquavision are not really help at all and my RTI help has reached an end point as when I tried with the 40" everything worked so we all believed a faulty TV.
Please oh please someone shed some light on this. Why does TerraTerm control the TV but no other programs can?
