[W2} Elecraft W2 Interface program (Ver 1.1.4.12)
 
|
Has anyone used the third party application by W4SMT for the W2 watt
meter on Windows 7? I was able to install and run it on XP but the application never appears on Windows 7, it can be seen as a running task in Windows 7 but no way can I ever get it to appear on screen.

You can download the application from www.remoterig.com. Without a USB key you will not get it going but it will demonstrate the problem. The problem is that the remoterig ports have nothing to connect to until their application is actually running so anyone that polls their virtual ports will simply hang. Probably the best and fastest solution is simply allow your user to select a comport rather than you trying to help by polling for a W2, the remote rig people could also help by modifying their virtual port drivers. I personally think it is more their problem than yours. Best Regards. Roger VK3ADE. On 06/02/2011 15:59, David Fleming wrote: > Roger, thanks for isolating the problem.

Apparently there is something odd about those virtual ports. Is the remote rig software available somewhere to download. I could try it and see if the problems occurs on my Win 7 machine. > > tnx and 73, > > David, W4SMT > > --- On Sat, 2/5/11, Roger de Valle<[hidden email]> wrote: > >> From: Roger de Valle<[hidden email]> >> Subject: Re: [Elecraft] [W2} Elecraft W2 Interface program (Ver 1.1.4.12) >> To: [hidden email] >> Date: Saturday, February 5, 2011, 11:39 PM >> David >> >> I just tried starting the remote rig application before >> your >> application, I did not however open any com ports on the >> remote rig >> application, this means the ports were capable of operating >> normally.
