Re: EMXP error codes

2012-03-05 by esynthesist

OK, maybe the basic questions now:
- is the Emulator-II in MIDI mode (not OFF)?
- did you also try the communication after setting the Emulator-II manually in "Mac mode" ?
- are you sure you are using the COM port corresponding to the EmuSer (Windows sometimes has a problem resulting in using the same COM port for different devices, including internal virtual com ports) ? What COM port number are you using ?
- are you sure you have installed the USB serial driver for the EmuSer ?
- is the EmuSer "transmit" LED reacting when attempting to set up communication with the Emulator-II ?
- what are the (DC) voltage levels of the E-II DB25 pins (1) when not connected to the EmuSer, (2) when connected to the EmuSer ?

If everything seems still OK, I can send you an (archaic) terminal software for use with the EmuSer which can help us in a more detailed investigation of how the E-II reacts on individual instructions.
