Re: Re: Possible bug in xPLHVision

Hi George,

The reason you got 0d instead of 0b in the command string is that you
were using a different timer.  I was using timer 11 (0b hex) and you
were using timer 13 (od hex).

I did not get xPLDev runtime error and my timers actually reset.  Not
sure why you got the error.  I don't have the docs in front of me but
I think you should have used current=start instead of current=set.
Also, since HV expects hex, 00300000 would have actually been 48
seconds since 30 hex = 48 dec.
