I'm setting up an embedded Atmel Micro Async System with a ANTC782M5IB module from Dynastream.

I'm trying to pair to a Garmin ANT+ HRM.

This works perfectly:
Async_rx_only_mode: (each is followed by xor CKSum)

A4 , XX , 46 , 00 , FF , .... , FF //ANT+
A4 , 03 , 42 , 00 , 00 , 00
A4 , 05 , 51 , 00 , 00 , 00 , 78 , 01
A4 , 02 , 45 , 00 , 39
A4 , 02 , 66 , 00 , 80
A4 , 01 , 5B , 00 //Open Rx Scan Mode - OK

However, this fails when opening the Slave (Receiver) channel:

Assign and Open Channel result in CHANNEL_IN_WRONG_STATE

I don't understand?? Do I need to remove the battery from the HRM to reset???

From the messaging log above, it looks like you are attempting to configure channel 0 as both master and slave in the same device. You do not need to do that to connect to the heart rate strap; all you need to do is configure the channel as a slave.

Thank-you Alejandra for taking the time to help.

I obviously did not understand the "Device Pairing" and HRM "Device Profile" documents. So I conclude from your response that when I'm "listening" to or reading data from multiple functioning ANT+ Master devices, I simply set up my display device as a Slave without any need to alter the Master device configurations.

Correct.

Have you had a look at the ANT Basics section on the website?
http://www.thisisant.com/developer/ant/ant-basics/#104_tab

This will guide you through some resources that are essential to understanding the basics of how ANT channels work.
