Unknown Function "ebSocketTypeTcp" error

[Christian]

I'm syncing E-Prime 2 with Net Station and when I try to run my E Prime task I receive the following error "Unknown function ebSocketTypeTcp" 

A few other pieces of information that might be helpful:

1) I checked the output window and it said "warning: "egiclockextension.ebn" failed to load and is not included in the routine (load state/error= -1/127 version/expected=0/178)

2) I also saw the following error when compiling "The error occurred in the method named "Netstation_InitSocketCommunications(s" at line 729 of a Certified Package File.

3) Parameters in the netstation package in e prime are: "c, "on", Celllist, "socket", "10.0.0.42""

4) I recently updated E-Prime from 2.0.8 to 2.0.10. 

Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Christian,

I don't know anything about NetStation, but I do know that PST
specifically advises that we *not* use EP2.0.10 yet with NetStation,
see http://www.pstnet.com/support/kb.asp?TopicID=5345 .

Hi,
Which is presumably because of changes in TCP/SocketDevice communication. I
had some problems myself as well (when I tried to get two pcs to communicate
via lan), but found myself struggling with the (lack of) documentation on
the topic. It's good to know an earlier version still works, though!
Please let us know if the issue has been resolved - there's quite a few
people out there who work with NetStation.
Best,
Michiel

Perhaps I should have been clearer. PST says that older Package
Files may not work with EP2.0.10, and the E-Prime Extensions for Net
Station Package File has not yet been updated for EP2.0.10, so users
of EE Net Station (and several other E-Prime Extensions) should stay
back at EP2.0.8.90. (This does not rule out, of course, the
possibility that EP2.0.10 also changed something with SocketDevice.)

For the record, documentation for SocketDevice, such as it exists,
can be found at http://www.pstnet.com/support/kb.asp?TopicID=2528 ,
and in the E-Basic Help facility for EP2.0.10 (not indexed, but can
be found using the Search pane). EP2.0.10 also makes Socket
available as a Device under the Experiment Object, apparently for use
with Task Events (see the New Features Guide for EP2.0.10).

Has there been any updates on this lately. I'm running into the same error with the latest version of the EPrime 2 runtime.

thanks,

Peter

How about if someone who has trouble with this contacts PST Support
themself and then reports back here with their response?

I am doing that presently.

OK, support says to change the line assigning the socket type to be like:

theSocketDeviceInfo.SocketType = ebProtocolTCP

This change appears to allow compilation. So that is just a change of the constant name. 

In EPrime 2 it is also now apparently possible to insert a SocketDevice through the Devices tab, which is the recommended procedure for new scripts.

cheers,

Peter
