Hi Ian,

Thought you might say that :(

This looks like the "xPLHAL Control Protocol Specification" from
the web
site.

Regards,

Neil Wrightson.

Neil, you would use a TCP connection on 3865, and use the XHCP protocol:

Cheers!

Ian.

Ps> no delphi, I'm afraid.

Hi,

You may have noticed my previous post with regard to the possible pauses
with xPLHAL.
Because of this, I would like to do a bit more testing and take
Misterhouse out of the equation.

I wish to write a program to connect to xPLHAL server but I'm a bit
confused as to how I should be talking to this.
Should I open a connection to the port 3865 and try to talk to it as per
the "Core Protocol" schema I used in the serial interface or
should I be
trying to talk to it via the "xPLHAL Control Protocol
Specification"?

At this stage I'm trying to duplicate the generation of the OSD Date &
time stamp that I was producing with Misterhouse as per the previous
post.

In windows I program in Delphi, so if anybody has some examples in this
language they are willing to share I would be grateful.


Regards,

Neil Wrightson.
