Commander Online Help Contents
Commander provides a means of capturing the flow of messages between your PC and your radio. To use this mechanism, click the Main window's Msgs button, which will display Commander's Messages window.
to enable message capture, check the Capture and
Display Messages box; note that capturing messages may reduce program
performance, resulting in poor tracking between the radio's frequency
display and the program's frequency display.
captured messages are preceded by a
sequence number and date; messages can be displayed in decimal, hexadecimal,
or ASCII as specified
by settings in the Message Display panel
If the Configuration window's Continuous
Frequency and Mode Interrogation box is
checked, you should see the PC issuing "request frequency report"
and "request mode report" messages, and your radio's responses; if not, check your radio's address,
baud rate, and PC
connections.
the Freq? and Mode? buttons send messages to your radio requesting that it report its current frequency and mode respectively.
the Save button places all captured messages in a file, and the Clear button empties the store of captured messages.
