I am trying to write a utility to monitor output from a Metex M-3650 Multimeter. I have succeeded with B4J for my netbook but have been unable to get the android version to work because I cannot find a way to set the DTR line. The metex meter has a very dumb serial interface, nothing is set by the meter, but requires the dtr line from the android device to be set and the RTS line to be toggled to turn on data flow.
I am using a Trendnet TU-S9 interface with the PL-2303 chipset
Can someone please update the usbserial library to include the SetDTR and SetRTS. Almost all serial interfaces I have worked with in my 25 years of industrial control systems, require some control over these lines if you are writing any kind of flexible application.
