'Bluetooth' unable to read any data

When using the Bluetooth® interface for:

  • Reading ASCII (text) data using the fscanf, fgets, or fgetl functions

  • Reading binary data using the fread function

  • Reading binblock data using the binblockread function

these are possible causes and remedies:

CauseSolution
An invalid command was sent to the device, so there is a problem reading the response to the command.Check your device manual for proper command formatting.
An incorrect write terminator was sent to the instrument before attempting to read data, so there is no data to read.Verify that the Terminator property is set to the value required by your device.
An incorrect RemoteName, RemoteID, or Channel was used.Verify that the device is paired and connected.
