Dave, It is my understanding that the 3600 uses the serial handshake lines to communicate with the unit whereas the 2300 uses regular serial communications. I...

3610 does not transmit serial data on the RS232 TD and RD lines. Instead, they bit-bang data using RTS/CTS/DTR/DCD by some bizzare means. I could not get the...

Handshaking configuration in Windows applies only to the serial COM driver. I doubt that HeavyWeather uses that mode but instead manages its own low level API...

I believe they are accessing the hardware handshake lines using the Win32 API. I would guess that most USB serial converters do not properly handle the...

That is interesting. Looking at the Heavyweather site, it appears the version that you have does work with Publisher, so that should be fine. Do you know how...

It wouldn't matter how often they write the data to current.1st The problem is that they are NOT writing gust information to it. Cheers David Higgins ...
