Using sniffer to watch communications to CELL210


Snohomish County SWM Apr 18, 2023 10:16 PM

My setup has a CR800 connected to a CELL210 via CS I/O port. Communication is done using SerialOut and SerialIn commands over SDC11. Processing appears be hanging up on SerialIn commands. I've tried to use the sniffer (W) mode in the terminal emulator to view the communications on SDC11 but have not been able to see any communication come through. Could there be something I'm missing in why I'm not seeing communication over SDC11? I am able to enter the pass through mode (P) and send the CELL210 commands via the terminal.

If your program does not have a SerialOpen command, add it in. The W command relies on a port being opened.

JDavis, thanks for your reply. The program did have a SerialOpen command. What I discovered is that the CELL200-series document says the throughput can be enhanced by changing the SDC Baud Rate from 115200 to 460800 on the data logger if using CS I/O, which I did. However, it does not mention to set the RS-232 Baud Rate on the CELL2xx to match the SDC rate. Correcting that issue resolved the communication issue and produced output using the W command.
