SpotCollector odd behaviour

 

One of my configured spots is showing yellow even though its window shows it is connected with data coming through.
The data is not appearing in the main data screen.
This particular spot has previously worked correctly.
No error log has been created.
Any suggestions ?

This can be caused by the prompt being set to something other than
what SpotCollector expects. What Host address, Port and Username have
you specified for the spot source?

It is the CDXC cluster at:-
cluster.cdxc.org.uk - port 7300
log in is callsign but it is password protected.
I have just checked the CDXC website to make sure that the details are correct & they are.

OK, so ... SpotCollector has some specific expectations about the command prompt provided by the cluster node, and won't consider you "connected" until it sees that. Dave will have to give you exact requirements, but a typical prompt would contain '<yourcall> de '. I'm not sure how SpotCollector knows what is the correct value of '', or if it actually cares. Since I can't login to the CDXC cluster node, I can't verify this, but it sounds like it might be VE7CC-compatible, so you might try sending "set/prompt" to it (from the spot source window), and see if that helps...

To ensure that you are connected to the cluster (as requested by Cluster operators), SpotCollector looks for

<yourcall> de X

where <yourcall> is the Username you've specified on the Configuration window's "Spot Source" tab, and X is an alphanumeric word.

Steve, if Iain's set/prompt suggestion doesn't get you going, please do the following:

1. on the Configuration window's General tab, check the "Log debugging info" box

2. terminate SpotCollector

3. start SpotCollector

4. wait 5 minutes

5.?on the Configuration window's General tab, uncheck the "Log debugging info" box

6. attach the errorlog.txt file from your SpotCollector folder to an email message, and send it to me via
