Hi all,

I'm having problem establishing a connection with my serial output device. It is an orientation sensor, and I have come to believe that the problem is related to its connection.

I was able to get my program to work once, but it was through tapping on the cable, shifting it a bit, etc. In the manual, it says that I should use a shielded twisted pair.

Where can I find that? How does the connection look like to a 9 pin male connector so I can connect it to my orientation sensor?

Thanks!

Hmm.. never mind. I think my current cable setup is fine. I may have made a programming error by using the + instead of the ASCII equivalent of \43 such as:

1SERIAL("+%f[101CV]")

instead of

1SERIAL("\43%f[101CV]")

It took me a while to find out that + is used by the DT800 in a Boolean expression.
