MHS-5200A Serial Protocol Reverse Engineered
janoc:
Right, makes sense. I guess better than no sync at all.
On the other hand, this device really begs to have its firmware replaced and these silly problems fixed - there is a ton of free I/O available on the connectors to provide a proper sync signal :(
Peter Axelsson:
Anyone have the serial command to change the display from channel 1 to channel 2?
Best regards

Protocol specification in Chinese, I hope it will be helpful:

This is great work...thanks for the effort...
Just getting my feet wet so I though I would fire up old Hyperterminal, point it at the COMM port, and see if I could tickle the 5200A, but no joy.
Any ideas?
nickcres13:
I know im late, but thought I would put in a word about some scripts im developing to further gain access to the MHS5200A device via serial commands. Namely, I have started with a dumb script that asks it for the frequency (on "EXT_IN") once a second and plots it in gnuplot. Links to the github repo and a boring video of me using it below. Let me know what needs fixed!
NOTE: I compile and run on Ubuntu, should work on other Linux distros, as for Windows and hackcoughblechApple there is work to do still obviously...
