What is this response telling me?

Wayne

Playing with api sent command to change freq to 14.245 but did not change and returned this message ... what is the radio telling me ... see photo for details. Slice freq never changed nothing appeared to happen. When I disconnected tcpip then reconnected to the radio and did it again it worked so now im confused. Yesterday it worked everytime I did it .. today not so much.. Says R0/50001000/lf Says sucess for command but then im confused.

The R0| means that it was a response to command C0|, not that it was successful. 50001000 appears to be an SL_RESP_UNKNOWN error, see http://wiki.flexradio.com/index.php?title=Known_API_Responses. This might be because you are always sending the same command number of 0. It should be incremented each time you send a command. I can't see anything else that might be wrong with your command line.

PS: I see you added more information while I was researching and typing my response. This new info leads me to conclude that the problem is definitely the fact that you are not incrementing the command number.

Thanks! I also wrote a routine which finds every send command in the xxxx.cs api files and writes those lines to a text file with the same name as the api file with a different extension so that makes life easier also.

John where can I find the messages.h header file referenced on the wiki ... I have not located it in the api files?

I don't know, sorry. It's probably not very helpful anyway - what you really need to get your head around is the command/response structure. You may find that my API primer helps (see the Wiki front page).

John yes ive been reading it over and over its very helpful. Im just about ready to start working on decoding response messages now that I got the discovery and initial connections and those messages down ok. Thanks for the primer its been a great help!

Wayne,

I don't see anything obviously wrong with your command.  I just booted up my 6700 and connected via telnet and did 'slice c' (create a Slice) then 'slice t 0 14.245'.  This tuned the Slice as expected.

The only reasons I can think of for getting that response (0x50001000) would be either that Slice 0 (displayed as A) doesn't exist or there is some kind of syntax issue with the command.

Found out the issue I was having resulted from me not adding a vbcrlf to the command when sending it using vb6 so there was for some reason a delay in it being sent out by the winsock control I was using. All is great now and sent immediately. Thanks!
