RomRaider

for the past couples days..i have been using my Innovate LM-1 intensively with Romraider..0.5beta logger..I discovered that occasionally LM-1 will not work on the logger..the symptom is after selecting the LM-1 plugin ..selecting LM-1 from the logger left panel ..LM-1 show no reading or static 0.

If I tried quitting the logger program and use Innovate Logwork to try logging LM-1 direct..I will find the COM PORT used is not available for selection..I suspected that , Romraider logger is not releasing the comport properly when the program exit.

Usually Logger work well on getting LM-1 loggging on 1st launch..however if you quit the program and restart..it may not work..I didnt really try quiting the program without stopping the logging activities..or try quiting it after stopping the logging activities.

does this happen to anyone else ? I would to see is it due to some other application on my laptop that causing this ...

yup. it has happened to me also...

Too lazy to write a simple utility to force closing of COM port. what i did now is using USB to COM converter..once the port is lock up..i unplug the cable and let it get a new port..this way works well ..instead of reboot whole notebook..I used to use physical COM port which i cant do much..
