Possible bug in xPLHVision

Steve,

I think I may have found a timer problem.  I defined an action in a
determinator that was supposed to load and start a timer in HV with
one hour and 30 minutes.  The parameters I used were:

device=11
type=timer
current=start
data1=01300000

I think this is correct according to your docs.  The problem is that
the corresponding dde command sent is:

,=0B0401300000

Two problems - the 04 is the command in HV to reset all timers, this
should be 00 to load and start a timer.  Second, although some of the
docs from HV are a little confusing, the time values need to be in
reverse order i.e. SSSSMMHH and they need to be in hex. Thus for an
hour and a half, which is what I wanted, the time string should be
00001E01.  While entering the values in reverse into data1 is no real
problem, the 1E caused problems and resulted in an incorrect dde
command.

I tried the other three timer commands - HALT, RESUME, and STOP - and
they appeared to be correct.

I have gotten around this by firing a macro which does the timer
stuff so there is no need to do anything but put it on your list for
a future fix.  I just thought you might want it documented.

As always, thanks for everything.

Bob
