Fx2424 ADC display in Online Monitoring

[cch1955]

I discovered when starting to debug a new program that the ADC display window in Online Monitoring
does not show a value unless that ADC line is read in the program periodically.

I assumed this was raw data for the ADC line and was always shown if there was voltage between 0-5 VDC
even if not called by the program - not so!

The statement in the manual on page 5-4 is not clear that monitor in includes the raw ADC display Online Monitoring monitor values .

I suggest changing the monitor program to display NA instead of 0 in the analog monitor windows for analog line that are "Not Active" (no basic statements referencing that analog line currently) it would aid in debugging.

Thank you for your feedback and the suggestion!

When run in simulation the ADC windows are blank until the user enters a simulated adc reading.

Blank may be as good an indicator as N/A for on-line monitoring to indicate that an ADC conversion has yet to be made.  I agree with Chris that a value of "0" is misleading.
