William,

Are you asking if you can wait for a defined timeframe for a specific signal on the DATA line? The Timeout and·Tlabel variables are options in the SERIN command that can be used to wait for a defined timeframe for any signal. Timeout triggers on any serial data and defines the wait time; Tlabel specifices the program direction if the wait time is exceeded. Add an error trapping routine if you utilize Timeout and·Tlabel· and need to wait for a specific signal.

As an alternative, consider using the WAIT qualifier to wait for a specified dataset prior to receiving additional data. Please view the SERIN Function in the Help file for more information.

I used the two commans and aded some code to do "error trapping" and it seems to work!·I'm sending a patten to light up 5 red LEDs from left to right and its pretty cool | || ||| |||| |||||. The "error trapping" goes to the beginning of the program if it doesnt see the 1 2 3 4 5. Im pretty sruprised that I can send a signal from my apartment to my car thats parkd around the corner thats about a thousand feet away.·

Does anyone know the longest range that I can get from the Linx receiver?

Thanks for all the helpp!
