Thank you again. Your negative result is a little surprising. If the 0119CF
command is failing then perhaps the frequency check is off. You can see if
the transmission light frequency counter is running using:
DEVELOPERPW
36OD
If this is running then you can compare the frequency to the upper and lower
limits which are in the data store, see the output of '1422OD' and check
m_fUpperFrequencyLimit and m_fLowerFrequencyLimit. If the counter is not
running then it would seem your DTP41 is not compatible with your DTP41T
base.
It would be nice to know how the pulses are generated. Seems that pulses
are passed in pin 3, must be an oscillator in the base? Also it would be
interesting to know if the base has a light sensor or is it sensing the
current or a voltage.
