RE: PI displays

It's by no means an automatic solution, but I've used snapshot to get the graphic image, Paint or a similar bitmap editor to blank out the areas I want to overlay with values, and d_edit -l to generate a list of values and their screen positions to add to the graphic. Since I'm only interested in

Duc, It might be worthwhile to compare an iccprt listing of your station with a dbvu listing (dbvu -t -CDB20CP02.UC -MOS1C40.map -IOS1C40 should do it). This will compare your checkpoint file (which is good, as the CP reboot worked) with your workfile. This is better than doing an upload and ch

Ken, To efficiently set the appropriate state of a number of blocks at the same time I use a calc or logic block. I trigger the calc block with a boolean input that can be pulsed from a display (momentary contact) or from sequence logic. The calc block uses an appropriate OSP to toggle on and o
