User Response to Message

PakBus framing error

LoggerNet received data

from the link that cannot

be verified to be part of a

PakBus packet.

Some possible causes: the

datalogger program or its settings

are configured to write data on the

port on which you are attempting to

connect, there is a mismatch in baud

rates between your computer serial

port and the datalogger, the link is

dropping sequences of characters

from transmission because the CPU

on the computer is heavily loaded or

because of faulty USB drivers.
Possible solutions: change the port

you are using to communicate, try

using a slower baud rate to

communicate with the datalogger,

use Windows Task Manager to

determine whether there are

processes that are loading down

your CPU, check to see if there is an

updated driver for your USB/RS232

adapter.

Invalid low level signature

The packet received

from the device got

corrupted and the packet

signature doesn’t match

the packet contents.

Check to find out where in the

communications link noise or signal

corruption is causing the data to be

disrupted.

Provider opened

The serial

communications port has

been initialized.

Device dialed

The communications

link has been initialized

to transfer data packets.

Provider closed

The serial

communications port has

been closed.

Unable to Locate Serial synch

byte

The low level

communications

synchronization byte was

not received after the

computer sent out a

serial packet.

This indicates that the device is

either not responding or responding

with an invalid communications

protocol. This message would

appear if trying to talk to an array

based datalogger that is set up as a

table based datalogger in the

network map.
