Toolkit Unexpected Error

C-Bus Toolkit v.1.1.6 & 1.1.7.

My steps :

Project -> Network -> Edit Languages -> Graphics ... -> Unexpected Error
or
Project -> Network -> Edit Languages -> Dynamic Icon -> Unexpected Error


Any idea?

PS: Windows XP SP2 Russian Edition

If you didn't at the time, ensure you press the send button on the error dialog as that sends us more detailed information on the problem.

 

Yes, I have pressed the send button. Have you received the report?
Because of the error, I'm unable to add russian labels in DLT unit using graphics. And I also unable to add russian text labels.
Do you plan to add support for russian into the languages list?

Valery R.

 

No. I found a similar error however form someone using a non-english langauge which may be usefull in tracking down the issue.

Currently I believe that only the English character set is available in the DLT units. I suggest asking this question in the hardware section of the forum as they can give you a better answer on what the implications are.

 

Russian DLT

Hi Valery,

There is no plan to add support for Cyrillic (Codepage 1251) at the moment. The full character set is shown in an attachment in this thread: http://www.cbusforums.com/forums/showthread.php?p=4806#post4806

Dynamic Icons will be your best bet, please dont hesitate to post a message if you need any help.

Cheers,
Mark.

 

Thanks for answers.

That's not good news for me.

But I can't use Dynamic Icons because of the error in Toolkit.(See my first post.)


To Richo:

Here's the Error Report:

 

Thanks, I have logged the fault in our defect tracking system.

 

So, we have two ways. Install Windows XP English Edition or through C-Bus Windows Module using cbus_lighting_vf_label function.

Code:

void cbus_lighting_vf_label(int8u i_network,
                                           int8u i_application,
                                           int8u i_group,
                                           int8u i_flavour,
                                           cbus_et_label_type e_type,
                                           int8u i_language,
                                           int8u i_length,
                                           int8u *i_text);

Parameter cbus_et_label_type can be:

Code:

    cbus_ce_label_text,
    cbus_ce_label_predefined_icon,
    cbus_ce_label_dynamic_icon

As I understand, this function can use icons as labels. But in the manual (C-bus Module Interface Specification for CBM version 3 Issue 3.4) described only cbus_ce_label_text.
How to use two other types?

Valery R.

 

I suggest you start a new thread, the people relevant to the CBM may not be monitoring this thread or forum.

 

OK, Richo.

I moved it to C-Bus Software>General discussion.

How work around problem

J can resolve problem with Russian Windows XP.

For example you have project called PROJECT2.

1. Go to your C-Gate directory and find subdirectory called \tag. Full patch may be like this - c:\CLIPSAL\C-Gate2\tag.
2. Create within subdirectory \tag blank file with name PROJECT2-DLTD-index.txt.
3. Now you can use dynamic icons with project PROJECT2 wihtout "Unexpected error" message!

Good Luck!
