@MattFox For other folks who come to this thread, I was able to use the Prologix GPIB Ethernet Adapter: https://prologix.biz/product/gpib-ethernet-controller/

I have a working set of Mango Configs that I've got working to talk SCPI using the GPIB <-> Ethernet device servers to make this work. I originally tried to get this working with the Serial data source, but ran into a host of issues related to this.

Mango's quite versatile, but apparently the Serial data source chokes on SCPI-style commands- One reason was noted by @MattFox earlier in the thread, but it's also part of a problem with SCPI: Mango expects all data sources to return data, and some (many) SCPI commands don't actually generate an acknowledgement.

The GPIB <-> Ethernet adapter has the same problem, but the timeouts are faster, and you can use a trick in the Prologix device (++auto 1) to basically stream data into mango in Real Time.

The Mango config I put together for this is quite large, but if you're looking for SCPI interfacing, I'd imagine this script would work well for Native Ethernet as well as Vintage GPIB devices using an Etherent <-> GPIB device.

The Prologix one I linked above is the more affordable of the choices- you can just telnet into it, and issue commands, and it spits stuff back. It's actually quite cool.

@cwangv
Agreed. I have something scribbled down about the error
'IllegalStateException: Should be in state [INITIALIZING, RUNNING], but is in state TERMINATING'
appearing in the log when attempting to delete a point failed.

Its almost as though the publisher isn't starting/stopping cleanly. (Only tested with modbus publisher)

@MattFox HI
thank you sample it works well

@MaP what does your application do?
More than happy to bounce ideas!
Alternatively, give me a PM and we can discuss privately if it's sensitive

Fox

@cmusselm Thanks for letting me know!

@Rodrigo This issue has been resolved in Mango v4.4.0 with advancedScheduler-4.4.1.

Rectified with the use of an angularJS controller and only two ma-point-values lookups

@till There may be an option under system settings -. permissions -> alarms view permissions.

Try removing the user permission (every user inherits that by default from 3.7+)
Hopefully then, events can only be viewed by the respective users that have the correct permissions to view those datapoints...

Mango 4 has more granularity on permissions

@MaP Sorry for the late reply, for some reason I'm not receiving notifications...
Yes, thermal shutdown can definitely be a faulty fan. that and how the unit is stored.
They are usually the leading causes of the ES units failing (maybe IO as well?)
Get yourself a replacement if you can, they're usually around $5 USD mark...
A dead give away is the noise of the bearings in the fan itself.

Also how is the unit stored? is it in an open air case or is it sealed with an IP rated box that gets really muggy.
I do know the ED units are prone to overheating, but they have a guts load more kick than the GT's spineless raspberry pi 3

For anyone saw this topic, solution is: Changing ssl.on=true to ssl.on=false

@rob987 This is the most detail instruction regarding MQTT for new user. I highly recommend using his instruction. New user should check ma.log to check if data source is correct setup to read data from MQTT broker before working on data point.

I found the BACnet local devices menu in the Utilities section under "Admin Home". Here you can create or modify the local devices. Once you create a local device there, it is available in the add new data sources section
