EibStudio keeps crashing

[Perry]

Hello all,

I keep having the problem that Eibstudio (EibStudio_V2_311) crashes after several minutes of use, after having transferred the application program successfully to the EibPC and the bus events are being registered in the event window on left bottom side. This is happening on my Win7 laptop, wirelessly connected to the Enertex KNX/IP router.

If I then try to restart EibStudio it gives the following error message: you have no authority for accessing the installation directory C:/Users/Perry/Documents/KNX/Enertex producten/EIBstudio/EibStudio-win/EibstudioData. Please, contact your administrator!

the only option is to restart the laptop (and then the above happens all over again).

I have allowed the EibStudio program access in the windows fire wall and tried running the program as Administrator, but nothing seems to make a difference.

Does anybody now what may be the problem?

Thanks and best regards,
Perry

Dear Perry,

C:/Users/Perry/Documents/KNX/Enertex producten/EIBstudio/EibStudio-win/EibstudioData

Well try at first to create a new directory e.g. C:\EibPC. Then you copy your esf files, libraries and the EibStudio into this directory. Upon start then EibStudio will create a subdirectory named EibStudioData. Never copy anything valuable into this directory or it might be deleted in special situations. However you will find some temporary in this subdirectory. The EibStudio.set holds you standard data for interface, IP, window positions and so on.

Does anybody now what may be the problem?

I suspect the main reason is that the EibStudio communicates with the EibPCvia UDP. If you have WLAN and this link is prone to errors it might be that the communication gets too many errors. So the advice is not to use WLAN but rather cable.

Regards,
Bernd

Bernd,

Thanks for the answers. It is working now, although I am not exactly sure what made the difference.

Now I am trying to get a webserver up and running, which is not working out. I have copied some of the example codes from the manual and tried some other from this forum (https://knx-user-forum.de/315820-post9.html) but this has not resulted in success. I am actually looking for the most simplest of examples, i.e. the basic minimum: a website that has just one button that I can use to switch a light on and off. I will have to keep digging further.

Thanks and best regards,
Perry

In the manual there are codes (see in the step by step chapter).
Alternatively you could use the Vsu-Assistent in the file menu. With that you can define and parametrize very easily your webinterface.

Thanks, I now tried using the V-assistant (and decided to only use one single switch to switch the 'Banklight' to keep it as simple as possible) and got further than ever before.

However, I now get the following Error:

However, I now get the following Error:
I have the following in my program:

Oh, that is a bug:
Please replace

C:/Users/Perry/Documents/KNX/Enertex producten/EIBstudio/MakroLibs-eng/libraries/EnertexWebENGV2.lib

with the German lib

EnertexWebV2.lib

. For that download the German Libaries before.
Unfortunately the Visu-Assistent uses the German Macro definitions.

[Perry]

Mmm, SOLVED! I have the one button working!!

I had to use the library EnertexWebV2.lib of the folder MakroLibs-de. This is the German libraries. The Visu-Assistent is also in German language, so this actually makes sense. However, is there a way to do it all in the English way, i.e. an English Visu-assistent?

Thanks for your help, I will be doing more experimenting later.

Wow, you are quick: thanks for this fantastically fast support!

Best regards,

Faster than my reply...

As my collegues told me, for now it is only German implemented. The work on the English version.

It appears that with the help of the Visu-assistent it is only possible to program four light switches and two dimmers per page; is this correct?

Yes, at least a point to start.
Attention: if you change the code, generated by the Assistent, you have to be careful with your code or rename the changes. Otherwise the code could be overwritten.
