Omnirig Qlog disconnecting from Rig

[jasonamorrow]

I often leave Qlog version 0.46.2 running on Windows 11 25H2 for long periods of time and Qlog will disconnect from my ICOM 7300 via Omnirig v1 and display the following warning.

Manually selecting Equipment -> Connect Rig will reconnect the rig and everything works as expected until it disconnects again. I haven't noticed a consistent reoccurring time period related to the disconnects. The serial connection is fine and other programs running at the same time like WSJTX using Omnirig do not disconnect and display an error. Is there any way to prevent this from happening?

Here are the debug logs from just before and after a disconnect.

I'm curious if the other programs have some sort of auto-reconnect or something when OmniRig gives the 'Rig is not responding' message. Some applications ignore the message and may try to reconnect. I'm not very famaliar with OmniRig - I'm a Mac user- I did use it times gone by on Windows. I know the new version of WSJT has a diagnostic mode you can launch it in to see if it gets similar messages. The file may get kind of large of it takes some time.

One thing to try is if you are not actively using your computer at the time, is make sure power save is turned off for your USB devices to make sure the computer isn't putting them to sleep or something.

[jasonamorrow]

I did check the com port settings to make sure power save was turned off, but the issue persists.

I think we will have to implement the reconnect there as well. A fragment from WSJTX

void OmniRigTransceiver::handle_status_change (int rig_number)
{
  CAT_TRACE (QString {"status change for rig %1"}.arg (rig_number));
  if (rig_number_ == rig_number)
    {
      if (!rig_ || rig_->isNull ()) return;
      auto const& status = rig_->StatusStr ();
      CAT_TRACE ("OmniRig status change: new status = " << status);
      if (OmniRig::ST_ONLINE != rig_->Status ())
        {
          if (!offline_timer_->isActive ())
            {
              // Omni-Rig is prone to reporting the rig offline and
              // then recovering autonomously, so we will give it a
              // few seconds to make its mind up
              offline_timer_->start (10000);
            }
        }
      else
        {
          offline_timer_->stop (); // good to go again
        }
      // else
      //   {
      //     update_rx_frequency (rig_->GetRxFrequency ());
      //     update_complete ();
      //     CAT_TRACE ("frequency:" << state ().frequency ());
      //   }
    }
}
