Script Controls A Temperture Recorder Via Ethernet

[AllTemp]

New eroor when macro executes. If I click on ignore it completes okay. Bu of course this needs to run seemlessly without user intervention. What has changed that would cause this.

here's the error screen

And a copy of my script.

This error is caused by the SetFocus command which is not detecting the window and doesn't think it exists. Probably because the window title is now something other then just MadgeTech - it has changed since the recording was made. If the script works anyway you could just remove the SetFocus line (line 14) or change it to:

SetFocus>MadgeTech*

By adding the asterisk it will find any window title containing the word MadgeTech which your screen shot shows is the case - the window title contains the word MadgeTech.

[AllTemp]

ried adding the * and then removing line 14 still getting the same error message...

This all started after I had upgaded Macro Schdeuler.

I tried adding the * and also deleting the focus line ...

What appears to work is I see Madge Tech windows named in the script MadgTech -[Graph] by adding this instead of the * every where I see MadgeTech called out the script is running. Any comments.

I was mistaken I mus thave ran the macro with the window already pen I am getting the same erros here, thank you.

To help further we need to know which line causes the error. To do that you will need to step through the script with the debugger and let us know at which line the error occurs. Or enable logging and grab a copy of the log at the point the error happens (open the log file before OKing the error message).

[AllTemp]

It appears that this error only occurs at random and when the error is occuring you may not look at the log or change screens, the computer beeps... You must abort the error to proceed. No log is recorded.

I can manual start the script it runs fine, but to leave the script to runon it's on it fails, or if you do a quick lunch it fails.

I need an explanation on running debugger. When executing debugger F8 steps thru each line. If it fails what would I look for ?

When doing Single Step, turn on Debug/Show Watch List. This will enable you to see the values of the variables as the script is processed.

No log is generated unless you enable logging. Go to Script Properties, and select Logging Tab. Put a checkmark in box to Log Progress of Macro. Probably put in a check to Empty before each run, (at least for the copy that you might submit here). There are three log levels, I usually use the second one, "Log Entry BEFORE Running Step".

It is also useful to enclose all variables in % if writing to logs. That will show you the value of the variable vs. just the variable name.

[AllTemp]

Logging is enabled however when this error occurs there is no log generated or if there it deletes when you click on the error abort/retry...

You cannot view the log during the errors.

You guys forget were not all at this every day... I don't knwo what to look for if I saw and error if debugg revealed one.... Lookign at the variabels menas greek to me and I don't speak it..

SKIP - Double posted in error

[Bob Hansen]

A number of observations:

1. Since your log is "being deleted", remove the check mark that I suggested in earlier posting:

Probably put in a check to Empty before each run,

2. This entire macro was not just recorded. It has been edited manually also. The following lines are creating variables:

Code: Select all

Year>yyyy
Month>mm
Day>dd

Any Let> statement creates a variable.

And this line is using the variables yyyy,mm,dd.

Code: Select all

Send>ColdStorage_%yyyy%%mm%%dd% 

3. Any Let> statement is creating a variable. Any command that has a "result" parameter is creating a variable named "result"

4. Even if "variables" mean nothing to you, you should still be able to Single Step through macro and let us know what line you get the error with.

5. Be sure that you have done Edit/Remove Trailing Spaces and saved the file.

6. Suggestion by Support to add the "*" in WindowName should happen on every command that uses a WindowName, not just on the SetFocus> command.

This is confusing to me:

Code: Select all

WaitWindowOpen>MadgeTech - [S
MoveWindow>MadgeTech - [S,\Data recorder\ColdStorage.csv],1028
ResizeWindow>MadgeTech - [S,4294967292,4294966268 

I would have expected all three lines to have the same window name. I normally would have thought that "MadgeTech*" would do the trick for you.

7. You are doing some Send> values but have not repeated SetFocus> to make sure the correct window will receive the commands. You are moving and resizing windows but may need a delay or WaitReady>1 commands to make sure system is ready to accept CTRL, Press, Send and other keystrokes, mouse clicks, etc. It may be helpful to do a WaitWindowOpen>, SetFocus, WaitRead> string of commands before every set of Send/Press/MouseMoveRel> type of commands. And may sometimes need a Wait> between some of them.

We can only diagnose a problem when you provide more specific explanation of exactly when "it fails", on which line, what are the symptoms. The picture you provide is great, but what was the line in your script that triggered it? It is possible that none of the suggestions in last paragraph are needed, or maybe a combination of some of them. Still do not have enough information about what line triggers the error. Try again to record and review a log file. And/or Single Step through the script. This can be resolved with the right input from you.

[support]

Next time the error message is on the screen do the following:

1. Leave the error box there, don't touch it.
2. Open Windows Explorer
3. Locate the log file (You've probably put it in the Macro Scheduler folder)
4. Attach the log file to an email and send it to support or post it here.

Then we can see how far the script has got and therefore at which line the error occurs.

However, I'm quite sure the error has occured at this line:

SetFocus>MadgeTech

The reason is that the window title is not "MadgeTech". No such window exists. Change this line to:

SetFocus>MadgeTech*

[support]

Looking at your recorded macro I expect a window called MadgeTech opens briefly after running the application, but the window changes almost instantly to MadgeTech - [Graph] as shown by the subesequent lines of code after the Run Program. This could be happening so fast that the SetFocus line fails. Try changing your script to the following:

etc
etc

[AllTemp]

edite dthe script Support as you sugegsted and it has ot error ... We'll keep an eye on it.

Question:

When the script sends the ctrl&r command it is reaching out on a serial port to an iServer and starts receiving data packets, each time the program runs these packets increase. For example it is currently reading 1031 bytes ofr a toal of 115+ packets. Thsi is why the wait time is so long.

On the wait line where it reads Press CTRL
Wait>0.45
Send>r
Wait>0.28
Release CTRL
Wait>941.71

This is fine for the current packets but as they increase in numbers I need somehting here to reconize this and wait . How would I do this?

Thanks
