    Using Control A Device:

    Enter the device, port, and system. You can?t use 0 for the system number; you need the actual system number.

    Message Type: String

    String Expressions: checked

    Message to send: ??POWON?,$0D?

    Press Send to Device

    I use Emulate Device ( I wanto to simulate my TV Feedback by Serial port)

    I didn't see
    String Expression: checked

    and It not work. It send "'POWON',$0D" withou translation to hex value.

    As Jo said use Control a Device, Emulate a Device allows you to pretend to be a touchpanel etc.

    If you want to test strings coming into a RS232 Port the easiest way is to short Pins 2 & 3 on the port and use Control a Device to send the string your expecting to receive.

    I dont think Emulate a Device set to a Serial Port number will work.

    the problem is to send hex value! If i Emulate a Device with the device port system I receive the correct string.
    But I need to insert into the string the hex value and I can't. Why? How Can I insert hex value?
    thanks.

    I don't understand your question. The example I gave you does have a hex value in the string and Emulate a Device does work. Where's the problem?

    How you interpret the data coming in is up to you. A $0D is the same as 13.

    In my diagnostics don't works. I see $0D( char $ char 0 char D) and not 13.
    In your example you speak about a 'string expression' to check in. Where is it? I can't find it!

    in the data_event create a local_var char yadadada[100]
    yadadada = data.text
    look at yadadada in debug to track your feedback, now for the other question like so in control a device after you have filled in DPS example for a device on com 1 and your still using the default settings that came with the box you would do 5001:1:0 tick string expression and notification tab then send:- 
    “’POWON’,$0D”
or
“’POWON’,13”
or if you really wanna be technical 
“’POWON’,itohex(13)”
    lol

    P.S.you may wanna open up debug and drop yadadada in there to see what you get back :)

    The checkbox is located on both the Emulate a Device and Control a Device dialog boxes right above the Send to Device button.

    Will that work w/o the double quotes? I've always done the way Joe and avi_dave wrote it.
