Converting CALAMP SMS Commands from ASCII to HEX (with Headers per LM Documentation)

Pquevedo8 days ago

Does anyone know or have a good tool that can convert the commands typically sent to a CALAMP via SMS in ASCII into HEX?

Obviously, I know it’s not just a literal conversion from ASCII to HEX or binary. It also requires the proper headers and related structure as described in the LM Documentation from CalAmp.

The thing is, I have access to the device through GPRS and I’d like to make some parameter changes, such as the reporting frequency. However, it doesn’t accept ASCII or simply doesn’t respond, and from what I’ve read, it seems to only allow HEX.

Best regards.

Sorry Anton, just wanted to say I really can’t stand CalAmp. I’ve never worked with trackers that are this over-engineered and complicated to set up.
