ANT Forum

Hi,

I have been using the "Request Message" command for channel status to determine if a channel has been properly open/closed. I would request the channel status immediately after I receive a response that a channel has been opened or closed.

However, I notice at times, the channel status doesn't report correctly right away. It would take X amount of time for the ANT's channel status to update after a open/close command response has been received.
Does this sound correct or am I incorrectly using the Request Message command?

Thank You,
Harvey      

For closing the channel, make sure to wait until the EVENT_CHANNEL_CLOSED is generated, which can take up to one message period from the point where you send the close channel command. After this, the status should be reflected accurately.

Once you open the channel and see the RESPONSE_NO_ERROR, a slave channel will go to the SEARCHING state, and will reflect this accurately in the response.
