Got Error: [21] Error setting DTR

[Pepper]

Hi all,
can someone tell me what the messeage "[21] Error setting DTR" means?
I get it if I try to connect on an virtual port on a Windows Mobile 5 device. I use the built-in portsplitter of WM 5. (no additional software)

Thanks for help

Sounds like a bug in GpsTools. Or a bug in WM2005 depending on how you see it I guess Redmond is right by definition, so will try to include a fix in the next service update of GpsTools.

Hi Johan,
I got an information for you:
The error I described above does only occur if I connect to the virtual port from Windows Mobile 5 (new built in port splitter from Microsoft). If I connect directly to the hardware port then all works well.

By the way: What does the Messsage: "[10007] Could not set DCB"

I am fining the same problem and really need a fix or work around. I have another detail. If I use another program (several tested) to connect to the WM5 virtual port before connecting with the GPSTools I do not get an error and can connect just fine.

Also, when is the next service update scheduled to address this issue?

More info. If we set the com port and buad rate to 0 then let the parser find the GPS port on a WM5 device it finds the hardware port for the GPS not the WM5 virtual port. The code looks like this;

aParser.Baudrate = 0
aParser.Comport = 0
aParser.PortEnabled = True

This is fixed in the GpsTools 2.20p release.
