Hi,

thanks for all info. I'll try to log communication when I get home. But I have following further questions:

- is there any easy way to determin if something else is listening on serial port ?

- possibility that end character might be swallowed is mentioned. I'd like to clear this in my head: I have start sequence of bytes ,and then info about length -so I receive only declared number of bytes - is there any way that end byte of previous message would be swallowed if it is a part of starting ?

- do I have any way to declare two byte starting sequence as start event - so I can receive bytes only after it - or should I receive byte per byte and see if it's start sequence ?

- do timings ($PortObj->read_const_time(100);$PortObj>read_char_time(5);) anyhow influence my situation ?

Thanks in advance,

Regards,

Rob.
