I tried to post this on the most recent thread and it fails with an error.

EDIT But this works so just a glitch I guess.

When you get a error, I need the error message so I can look into it.

here it is. �

I am also looking at the forum listing and it says 6 responses but I can only see the original post. �Maybe it is my browser.

EDIT: the post is headed " CMM2: COM 3 OPTION CONSOLE SCREEN Bug?"

I am going to flush my cache and reload the page because I still can not see any of the 6 reported responses.

I concur. The post I made about a COM3 bug says 6 replies but I don't see any except my initial post.

I tried to post that the post that the "OPTION CONSOLE SCREEN" seem to be behaving as it should be and stoping echoing to the PC and freeing up COM3. See manual page 15

If this posts it was the excerpt from the manual that was killing it because I just tried to post it here and it did the same thing.

I appreciate that but I'm not trying to echo/control the CMM2 with the PC. I'm running a terminal program on the CMM2 and trying to communicate with another terminal program running on the PC.

I think you are pasting a unicode character that the forum doesn't like.
Copy from word documents and PDfs etc will often have nasty non-ASCII characters to bugger up code and it looks like the forum as well.

RE the original COM3 issue:
Some example code showing the problem might help.

If you were copy and pasting from the CMM2 manual paragraph on 'The Serial Console', I expect that the culprit was the bullet points towards the end.
They translate to a HEX 00 or HEX 95 character depending on what I paste into.

You may be on to it Jim. Copy/paste from some documents can include a heap of hidden characters that the forum doesn't know how to process.

When you paste, by right clicking, you have the option of "Paste as plain text". I would be curious to see if that works for those having issues.

I'll look into the incorrect post counter.

To that end, I repost the section of the manual(page 15) I was trying to post with the as plan text below, and if it posts then we know that is the best way.

EDIT: Just pasting as plan text DID NOT WORK. I did delete the 2 outline charactors and let's see if that works.

Quote If the serial console is not required it can be disabled with the command OPTION CONSOLE SCREEN. This
is reset when the program ends. If you want to permanently disable the serial console then the above command
should be followed with OPTION CONSOLE SAVE. Disabling the serial console has two advantages:
The built in editor will operate faster as it does not need to echo the edited text on the slow serial console.
The serial port used by the serial console can be opened as COM3:.
