Thanks Glen and Vince for referencing the 4.x documentation and the use of
wee_device instead of wee_ctl. I attempted to run the wee_device commands,
however, more errors were generated. The attached file includes the error
dialog in response to "wee_device --dump" where the following lines are
repeated several times followed by a Traceback dialog:
Unable to wake up console... sleeping
Unable to wake up console... retrying
I think that the console's data logger usb interface has failed and may
need replacing. Any comments?
Thanks,
Gordon
