When sending commands out to a CM15A or CM19A using SendPlc or SendRF the CM19A or CM15a's seem to always lag behind. Is there a way to determine that a command has been completed? I am working on a very time critical application and need commands to execute when I send a command. If I can determine that a command is complete or how long it takes to send a command it will help.

Thanks,
Bob

Hey Bob,
Programatically, I don't think there's a way to determine whether the command was received and acted upon.
At least from an MS-DOS perspective. I'm sure there's a way since we know that AHP has a real-time logging
facility. Now you're into the SDK which I have no experience with. So far, most, if not all, ahcmd calls to my
CM15a happen sub-second. I know this because I watch my XTBM to 'see' the outbound command
on the powerline. I have noticed that the more 'junk' I have on my USB bus, the longer it seems to take before
the CM15a gets the command for processing. When I say '...the longer it seems...', I mean I can barely
perceive a longer lag. Sorry but that's about all I can contribute. I'm sure the guys will jump in shortly.
