TFR-Button not working (SOLVED)

Post by Alpin-Flier »

Hi Roar

I made my first steps with OC4BA. I connected a OC radio COM1 and started PMDG373NGX and OC4BA. Everything works nice (Frequencies can be changed on the PC monitor as well as on the unit itself, changing displays visible on both sides), but the TFR button on the unit does nothing (the one on monitor does its job). But the action is seen in the SIOC log:

184=1 - COM1_TFR
184=0 - COM1_TFR
184=1 - COM1_TFR
184=0 - COM1_TFR

I have checked it with both COM units I have. Same behaviour. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Best regards
Urs

An additional hint:

When I connect two COMS, the TFR of COM2 triggers a frequency switch on COM1, meanwhile TFR of COM1 does nothing at all. Here the log, first TFR1, then TFR2:

184=1 - COM1_TFR
184=0 - COM1_TFR
184=1 - COM1_TFR
184=0 - COM1_TFR
6372=0 - COM2_TFR
6372=1 - COM2_TFR
6372=0 - COM2_TFR
6372=1 - COM2_TFR

What is the name of the script and which version are you using when this COM1 issue occur?

Have you modified anything yourself, or is it the script that came in the setup file you got?


Pls send the script you are using to roarkrsp@gmail.com

Hi Roar

I did not change anything, at least not by will. I have the unchanged OCP4NGX_PP_v2.0.ssi from 30.04.2015 out of the installation in the SIOC directory.

When I go in, I see the following lines

Var 0184, name COM1_TFR, static, Link IOCARD_SW, Device 8, Input 6, Type P // Active/Standby swap button
Var 6372, name COM2_TFR, static, Link IOCARD_SW, Device 18, Input 6, Type P // Active/Standby swap button

I think these are ok. But I send you the .ssi by email.

Best regards

Hi all

With the new OCP4NGX_PP_v2.0.ssi from 5.6.15 the two radios (COM1 and COM2) work now perfectly. Many thanks to Roar for the fast reaction.

All the best
