Thanks.
No, I'm not 100% sure that it supports CoE but pretty close to 100%.
That's the impresstion I have from the manufacturer.
And this is also reported by the slave.
But I also have (and had before I started using the slave)
a feeling that this slave would be "almost complient"...

I'm right now trying to get my hands on the "Protocol Specification"
too see for myself what's actually is going on and to be able to debug.
Before I have that spec I can not really complete this tests, it's more
of an "trial and error"... I'll keep you posted if I get anywhere...

Thanks for all answers,
Stefan
