Problems with WideFS6478test.zip

[jan737]

Hi Pete,

When running the PM MCP on my wideclient Pc it's starting up and closing again.

See my ini file:

[Config]

UseTCPIP=Yes

ServerIPAddr=192.168.1.3

WaitForNewData=500

runready3="C:\PMsystems\PMSystemsdemo.EXE"

[GPSout]

Port=COM1

Speed=4800

And my log file:

********* WideClient Log [version 6.478] Class=FS98MAIN *********

Date (dmy): 14/08/05, Time 16:57:51.406: Client name is LAPTOP2

What can cause this

Best regards

When running the PM MCP on my wideclient Pc it's starting up and closing again.

Sounds like it's license has expired? Otherwise you really need to check with PM support -- I cannot support their programs. Sorry.

In any case I would need more details. The Log you supplied shows nothing because it isn't finished - no errors are shown, nothing really useful is shown, except maybe this:

172 Opening GPSout port COM1, speed=4800 -- FAILED!

which is due to an error in the Beta wideClient -- if you don't add a GPSout section to the INI file it does it for you, but it shouldn't. I have a later version which fixes this, but in your case it shouldn't do any harm in any case as the COM1 port is evidently either already occupied or it doesn't exist.

Does your PM MCP directly connect to anything on a serial port?

Please always close down the relevant programs before showing a log. An unfinished log is not often useful.

Regards,

Pete

You are right, it was a license problem.

I copied the ini file from my old pc to the new one.

Thanks for your help.

Best regards
