Script won't connect to Inverter - solution found.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run the script
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected result is to have correct data in the log file and uploaded to 
PVoutput. Instead the log file reports that the "Script run but plant CSV could 
not be found". No data is uploaded.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Version 2.0 on XP. Excel 2007. SB1700 inverter with piggyback BlueTooth board.

Solution:

The script has the default user name and password [User/0000]. If you have 
changed either of these you will need to edit the script at line 76.

Note also that the suggested path names in the script must be correct for your 
operating system. eg: My Documents compared to Documents, Documents and 
Settings compared to User;

I am having the same problem.

"Script run but plant CSV could not be found" reported by log file.

running version 2 on Windows home premium 64bit with Microsoft excel 2010

I have 2 sma5000tl inverters networked together and communicating via bluetooth

I suspect that its not starting "SE" as I cannot find a new CSV file.

On starting SE manually:( version 1.02.7)
-after about 10 seconds it asks to open a new or existing plant.
-I notice default path to plant last used says "Documents" even though it is in 
"My Documents"
-Click "Next"
-Establishing connection for about 15 seconds
-Default "User" type "0000"
-SE loads and aftr 30 seconds information is populated.
any help yould be much appreciated

I see you say that the default path to plant is wrong. Pretty sure that will be 
your problem. Go into the script and make sure the entire path for every place 
where it is needed is the correct words for your version of the operating 
system. I think one or more of your settings is still showing /Documents/ 
instead of /My Documents/. There may be other changes.
On my system, eg, I have the following at line 35.
Data_Path="C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\SMA\Sunny 
Explorer\"
Use Notepad++ on Windows or TextWrangler on Mac to edit the script. Makes it 
much easier as you can turn on line numbering and it colours the text 
automatically for different things.

Got it working now, my original plant name was David P.V.10kW. , think the 
script didn't like all the dots in the file name, changed it to Morven and now 
working. Thanks , Iain.
