Title: meters stopped working
Post by: thespindoctor on March 14, 2018, 05:09:51 PM

I had a great setup with several meters displaying voltages from 4 analog inputs.  I was changing the ticks and max value on one of the meters and they all stopped working.  Then I reverted back to the original settings but no matter what I do, the meters are silent.  However, one meter showing an average/sec of voltage is working fine.  The registers for these analog inputs show the proper voltages.  I have the code in the PLC script and was wondering "are if then statements in the PLC a problem"?  Would it be better to do this in the signal script?  Does the signal script scan just like the PLC so I could basically use the same code there?

Thanks
