- Your problem might be related to the COM port settings of the
TraceMultiplexer which have to be set during the first usage:
- right click the green oval system tray icon (if it is red its a
sign that there is
a general problem with the specified com port) and choose "properties"
- select the correct COM port
- click on "settings.." and select 115000 baud and no flow
control !
- See also the short PCO-Introduction pco_intro.pps which is
delivered together with the pco package
- Sometimes the TraceMultiplexer failes to store its own ini-file
correctly:
- right click the green oval system tray icon and choose
"applications"
- if no entry "Panel .." or "PCO .." can be seen, the ini-file
got most likely corrupted
- shutdown PCO, delete ..\bin\TraceMultiplexer.ini, restart PCO -
the default ini-file will be copied
- (if you use an other COM port then COM1 you need to change the
Multiplexer settings)
The
viewer stops automatic scrolling
- This is because of a new feature: the Stop-String-List:
- In the default configuration main.svc this list is initialized
with "ERROR", so the viewer will stop auto-scrolling whenever a trace
containes the string "ERROR"
- Edit the Stop-String-List via menu (view/stop string list) or
via the button left of the auto-scoll button, and adapt it to your
needs.
A viewer reports errors while
loading a .svc-file
- This could be caused during a PCO-crash:
- if the .svc-file is a default file (e.g., main.svc or syst.svc)
shut down PCO, delete the file in ..\cfg directory and restart PCO
- PCO will copy the default version which should work again
The system-command-pool of the
controller contains no entries
- This could be caused during a PCO-crash:
- shut down PCO, delete the file View.txt in ..\cfg directory and
restart PCO
- PCO will copy the default version which should work again
The matrix of the controller
contains no entries
- This could be caused during a PCO-crash:
- shut down PCO, delete the file pco_stack.xml in ..\cfg
directory and restart PCO
- PCO will copy the default version which should work again
