E-Sys can't connect. Target blank.. Help

JMon · 02-06-2016, 10:23 AM

I just can't seem to connect using e-Sys (With E-Sys Launcher)
I've tried 2 computers with the same result.
V 3.27.1
Using Launcher with F080
Basically I am unable to select a target.
Connect via VIN looks correct
Connect button isn't highlighted.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Silly question, but have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling? Also, try closing it and reopening it. Select a lower memory and see if it works. When the Java environment runs out of room if can go crazy. Oh, also try restarting the machine. Java runtime can keep memory bottled up even after you've closed all the programs that use it.

What happens when you click "Read parameters from VCM" (the very last radio button)?

Edit: I see you're missing selections up top. Can you confirm you've dropped in the PSDZData into the proper place within C:\Data?

If the "Open Connection" window under "Target" is empty (no targets), verify the following:

That the "psdzdata" folder is installed properly (From the PSdZData_Lite or PSdZData_Full extraction, copy the "psdzdata" folder to "C:\Data\" (i.e. "C:\Data\psdzdata")
That the psdzdata chassis folders each have an empty "dist" folder. Make sure that there is an empty "dist" folder in each of the psdzdata chassis folders, and if missing, create as needed, e.g.:
- C:\Data\psdzdata\mainseries\F001\F001_xx_xx_xxx\od x\dist
- C:\Data\psdzdata\mainseries\F010\F010_xx_xx_xxx\od x\dist
- C:\Data\psdzdata\mainseries\F020\F020_xx_xx_xxx\od x\dist
- C:\Data\psdzdata\mainseries\F025\F025_xx_xx_xxx\od x\dist
- C:\Data\psdzdata\mainseries\F056\F056_xx_xx_xxx\od x\dist
- C:\Data\psdzdata\mainseries\I001\I001_xx_xx_xxx\od x\dist
- C:\Data\psdzdata\mainseries\K001\K001_xx_xx_xxx\od x\dist
- C:\Data\psdzdata\mainseries\KE01\KE01_xx_xx_xxx\od x\dist
- C:\Data\psdzdata\mainseries\RR01\RR01_xx_xx_xxx\od x\dist
The the E-Sys "Options" => "Settings" => "Directories => Data: path" is set properly (e.g. "C:\Data")

Ok, I had installed the "sdzdata" folder incorrectly.. twice...

C:\Data\psdzdata

Now I have to deal with the launcher stuck in F20 mode for a few more days. (I switched it when just trying to see if I could get the system working)

If it starts in F20 mode, what are the downsides? Should I just wait my 2 days?

You can wait 2 more days, or just follow the instructions provided to you:

* NOTE: E-Sys Launcher 2.x Car Series MUST be set to exactly match the car's chassis type you are coding (e.g. F01, F06, F07, F10, F12, F15, F25, F30, F82, F83, etc.). If after install it defaults to F999 and it cannot be changed, change PC Date ahead 4 days, then change E-Sys Launcher Car Series, then change PC Date back to current date. DO NOT create .EST Token and PIN with PC Date advanced 4 days as the Validity Start Date for the token will be 4 days in the future.

Having trouble downloading PSdZData_Lite file....it keeps timing out on me. Now I have to wait a day because I've exceeded the download threshold. So frustrating. Does anybody have a file/link I can download from? I have everything else.

There is no daily download limit for MEGA that I have ever seen.

hmm...could be a new thing. Definitely over bandwidth quota and wants me to upgrade to their 'Pro' versions, or else I have to wait 3.5 hours to download. I would screenshot it, but I'm lazy, lol.

Thanks for the PM though, Shawn.

If you use Mega Sync or clear your Mega cookies then you will be fine.

Funny I just PM'ed that I got that! I'll try Almaretto suggestion below. (Nope doesn't work, they are checking IP addr)

I'm still not able to get the target to show.

I put the psdzdate folder into the data folder.

The default chassis folder was missing some files so I created them along with an empty dist folder for each.

Here are my settings:

What else am I doing wrong? The default chassis folders contains other folders and files but I only created an empty dist folder as instructed, could that be the problem? I appreciate any help I can get.

aboulfad · 12-05-2016, 06:01 AM

The folder needs to be called psdzdata under C:\Data, check your screenshot... and please do read the PDF instructions that Shawn sent you, carefully and many times.

Change folder name to psdzdata (c:\data\psdzdata), not psdzdata_v3.60.1.003_lite.

Shawn, I forgot to mention that I did changed the folder name to "psdzdata" before and received an error message.

Delete PSdzData folder and replace with latest version. If you still have error, update E-Sys to latest 3.28.1. PM Sent.
