This page contains information on how to troubleshoot some common issues with the GUI. These are issues that occur once the GUI has started, not issues in starting the GUI. A good place to start are the log files, they are stored in ...\Instrument\Apps\Client\workspace\logs.

IOC Start/Stop list is not Populated

If the IOC Start/Stop list is blank when the instrument is running then there is a problem with the PV serving this. The PV serving it comes from the DBSRV ioc and ultimately comes from the MySQL database. Console to the BD server:

console -M localhost DBSVR

should not be producing errors (pressing return creates blank lines)

Next check that the database is up.

Target Platform Errors

In some cases when you receive a Resolving Target Definition error, this can relate to some cached files that need to be refreshed and repeatedly performing the loop of Clean project > Set as Target Platform > Reload between 3-10 times can fix this issue. Set as Target Platform and Reload are located on the target view, located at uk.ac.stfc.isis.ibex.targetplatform.target.

Other issues

Memory "leaks"
