    I'd like to be able to transfer my PICED project to my PAC via the C-Bus network, when I try I get an error: "Config File Failed to Download To Unit"

    Config:
    PAC - Unit address 3, firmware 3.6.0
    PICED - 4.9.2.0

    PICED connected to C-Gate over IP
    C-Gate connected to PCI via Com port

    In PICED:
    Network is open 100% (and green)
    Transfer/Connect to Unit checked
    Transfer/Project to Unit shows "Project has no errors"
    Clicking "OK" shows:

    Network = Local Network
    Unit Address = 3
    Unit Type = PAC
    Firmware Ver = 3.59.30 - 3.69.99 (I'm running 3.60)

    When I click OK I get the error above (oh, and then a "Transfer Complete" dialog too)

    I can transfer via USB cable successfully, and the logic engine on the PAC is functioning

    Any ideas would be most welcome.

    I'm not 100% sure, but I think you need to be running PICED on the same machine that the PCI is connected to... I don't think you can do it via a remote C-gate connection.

    Nick, surely PICED talks IP to C-Gate whether on the same machine or on a remote machine? Does it really make a difference?

    In this case it does make a difference because PICED has to pass a file to C-Gate and this does not currently happen via the TCP/IP socket.
