2010-02-06 Thread Wes Stewart
I've been meaning to query the group about this for some time but the latest episode has finally prodded me into asking. I have noted before that when I ran the utility program after closing it and then trying to use my logging program, the log couldn't connect using the serial port.

The K3 Utility closes the serial port at exit. Windows process termination also closes open file handles. However the close process invokes device drivers to actually release the hardware, and sometimes that doesn't work as you might hope. Dick, K6KR Sent from my iPhone On Feb 6, 2010,
