Rotor hy-gain DCU-3
Hallo
Ich habe neu die Rotorsteuerung DCU-3 im Einsatz!
Leider führt Swisslog den Befehl zum Rotorstart nicht aus! Die Sollrichtung wird in das Steuergerät geschrieben aber der Start nicht ausgelöst.
Die PC-Einstellungen sind sicher richtig, da die Steuerung mit der HRD-Software perfekt funktioniert!
Wer kann helfen?

RE: Rotor hy-gain DCU-3
From original manual:
Software Control
Follow the instructions for the software
package that you use to control the rotator
for setup and operation. For example in Ham
Radio Deluxe the Rotator control module
asks for the Controller Type and the COM
Port number. Other software vendors may
also include the ability to directly control the
DCU-3 from within a logging or rig control
program. Use the DCU-1 (or DCU-3 if in
the list) and look for the COM port that the
DCU-3 is plugged into. For RS-232 you
should have a list of COM 1-4 (or more)
depending on what is installed in the
computer and you would choose the one that
the DCU-3 is plugged into. For USB you
should have the COM 1-4 list and then a
higher number COM list of the devices
plugged into the computer that act as virtual
com ports. Choose the one that the DCU-3 is
connected to. If you unplug the DCU-3 the
USB com port should no longer be
available. If you have chosen the correct
com port then when instructed by the
software the rotator should respond to the
commands. If not then try one of the other
com ports.
I use usb - com port 6!

RE: Rotor hy-gain DCU-3
And the commands
COMMAND SET
There are 2 commands the DCU-3 is
looking for that are sent as ASCII
characters.
Command: Result:
AP1***; Sets Target Bearing in DCU-3 (***is a three digit number between 000 and 359)
AM1; Starts Rotation to Target Bearing

RE: Rotor hy-gain DCU-3
Trank you for answer!
Yes the checkbox is active!
Everything is OK! Only the rotor apparently does not get the start command

RE: Rotor hy-gain DCU-3
Hello Albin,
I think I have found the reason, a small delay of 200ms must be applied between both commands to work on DCU-3. I have uploaded a beta to test:
www.swisslogforwindows.com/Beta/SwisslV5.exe
Simply download and replace the EXE in the Swisslog folder.
Please let me know something as soon as possible! I want to release a new version this week and I would like to fix this.
