If you are writing your own software, the MCG-3 may be reporting
errors that you don’t know about (your software may not read response
information or responses have been turned off). One thing that is highly
recommend in writing your own software, is to run a communications
program on the PC computer, execute the commands that you think
might be giving you trouble one by one, and see what responses
(errors) come from the MCG-3. Executing the commands one by one
also gives you a chance to see what exactly the MCG-3 does and/or
needs in your particular circumstance.
