Hi,
My XM10E is not generating the correct zero crossing detect signal. When this signal was viewed from the oscilloscope, i obtained a signal with 20ms period ( i'm working on 50Hz) but the amplitude was 0.1V. Also, the shape was not square.

According to the specs, this is an open collector circuit and you need a pullup resistor.  If you already have this in your circuitry, your XM10E is probably defective.

Yesterday it worked.
Today it doesn't work.
X10 on Windows is like that.

Thanks Charles
I've modified my circuit with a 10k resistor. I obtained the expected 50Hz square wave.
