Ensure alignment with DOFLinx 8.11 #5

Open ojacques opened 2 weeks ago

DOFLinx 8.11 is out, with new score API for DOF2DMD. This issue is to make sure DOF2DMD works with 8.11.

Hi @ojacques

I'm trying to check the new DOFLinx 8.11 release, but whenever I use either our new DOF2DMD version or the "old" one, the DMD starts but DOFLinx shows the following error:

But there is no related info in the logs to see what could be the problem (maybe I miss something in the DOFLinx.ini file)

Did you test the new version?

ojacques commented 2 weeks ago

Initial tests did not work out of the box. But I could not spend time to figure what was wrong (I am away from my main computer). What I know is that DOFLinx looks at DOF2DMD path (in the DOFLinx.ini), to read DOF2DMD's settings.ini to then find out which URL to contact.

With 8.10, DOFLinx starts DOF2DMD fine, and displays the DOFLinx logo.

With 8.11, DOFLinx starts DOF2DMD, but there is no DOFLinx logo, and there is an error "Failed to open connection to DOF2DMD System".
