Rotor control

[JW6VDA]

I am aware of the fact that two applications cannot share one comport, so  the questions remains. The rotor is Prosistel D.

It is configured to work with N1MM+ Rotor.net, and it works.

I am operating this station remotely, so I cannot physically unplug/plug in any of the physical devices.
Setting up rotor control in Swisslog, using the same rotor, it also works from Swisslog - of course after closing the N1MM+ rotor programme.

Here is the problem: If I close Swisslog and open N1MM+ again, the rotor does not work with N1MM Rotor control.
Several restarts does not help. The rotor cannot be controlled By N1MM any more.

Solution - not very satisfactorily: Remove the rotator from Swisslog. Make several restarts of the computer. Configure N1MM+ rotor again. Since this programme also works as standalone, it is a feasible, albeit not very elegant way to operate the rotor.

Apparently something blocks the rotor to be controlled by N1MM+ if it has been configured and used by Swisslog. (It does not happened if the rotor  is simply configured in Swisslog - it happened after Swisslog has been actively used to turn the antenna.


So my question is: Is there any way to tell the comport that it is no longer connected via Swisslog, e.g. in device manager?
