Troubleshooting steps:
Ensure that:
Your device is plugged in
Your device is turned on
The cable between your computer and your device is properly connected
The cable's driver is properly installed
The COM Port has not been opened by another application
The COM Port settings are properly set
The COM Port's status is set to Enabled
"Auto Scan" option is selected
The device is responding to SYS_PING command sent by Z-Tool
Troubleshooting steps:
Usually it takes Z-Tool about 5-20 seconds to start up. If your startup time is significantly longer than this, then you may want to try the followings:
Under Settings -> Serial Devices, highlight and disable all COM ports that are not used.
If you are not using socket connection, make sure "Scan all socket connections", under Socket Devices tab, is unchecked.
Close other running applications.
Troubleshooting steps:
You may have a virtual Bluetooth COM Port or simply a bad COM Port. Try disabling all the unused COM Ports in Device Manager:
Right click on My Computer -> Properties -> Hardware -> Device Manager.
Expand "Ports (COM & LPT)"
Disable all the unused COM Ports.
In addition, you can also try removing unused COM Ports in the registry:
Start -> Run
Type "regedit" and hit OK
Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> HARDWARE -> DEVICEMAP -> SERIALCOMM
Remove all the COM Ports that are not listed in your Device Manager (make sure you have a backup of your registry first)
Troubleshooting steps:
Ensure that:
The device is responding to SYS_PING command
The Capabilities field in the SYS_PING_RESPONSE message contains all the expected groups
Troubleshooting steps:
Ensure that:
Expected parameters are listed in TI.MasterKeyListDev.xml or TI.MasterKeyListNwk.xml
The device is responding to NV Read commands for all parameters
All NV Read responses have SUCCESS Status
Troubleshooting steps:
Ensure that:
Folder list under Settings -> Scripts -> Script Folders are up to date
The folders that contain your scripts are added to Script Folders list
Your scripts have the extension ".zjs"
Troubleshooting steps:
Upon startup, Script Window tries to search for all script files (files with extension .zjs) in user's specified Script Folders. All subfolders are also searched. Ensure that:
Folder list under Settings -> Scripts -> Script Folders are up to date
All unnecessary subfolders are deleted
