[ARTS] Can't get ARTS2 to Communicate with DataAnalyzer

[Jarrett Gorin, AICP]

Hi All,

 

I am a new ARTS user.  I am trying to get my ARTS2 unit set up to
communicate with DataAnalyzer and it will not work.  I have perfect,
fully functioning installations of DataAnalyzer installed on my Windows
XP Professions 32-bit Panasonic Toughbook laptop, and on my Vista
Business 64-bit desktop.

 

Following Erik's instructions, I open up DataAnalyzer, make sure
everything is connected, then I power up the ARTS2 and try to
communicate with it before it goes into flight mode.  On both systems,
100% of the time I just get the following message:

 

" The Alimeter is not in the correct state.  Please verify that it is
turned on and not currently busy".

 

On the Windows 32-bit system, my connection is via the serial port built
into the laptop.  On My 64-bit system the connection is via a Keyspan
19HS USB serial port adapter.  In both cases, DataAnalyzer sees the COM
port, and in the case of my desktop, I can even confirm that
DataAnalyzer is opening up and using the COM port.  So the problem is
between the ARTS and the serial port.

 

I have never flown my ARTS yet.  Do you have to complete a flight with
it before it can be in the right "state" to communicate with
DataAnalyzer?  Is there some setting I am missing?  Please let me know
how to get this working.

 

Thanks!
