T100MD-r50, Trilogi 6.46 and 6.47, Windows 8

When I go to online monitoring > local > Open matching source file > open local, the default file has appended to it " 1.pc6"
Example
real file name "clean.pc6'
default  name "clean.pc6 1.pc6"

Deleting the added > enter and file loads OK
I have tried renaming, copying and renaming with no success.
Clicking on the file name form the list will replace the default with the correct name.

I have just updated to v6.47 with no change in behavior.

This is Trilogi 6.45 - 05 and 08, T100MD Computer is running Windows 8 Pro, with the recommended Java.

Piece of code from Custfun
 IF " < 10
CTRPV[3] = CTRPV[3] +1
ELSE
CTRPV[3] = 1
ENDIF

In Online monitoring mode:

In the Custfun, select "CTRPV[3]"

Displayed in the lower window:
CTRPV[3]
Current Value (retrieved from PLC) = 0

From the Online monitoring contact value screen
Counter 3 = 1

From, SETLCD 3,20,STR$(CTRPV[3],1)
"1" is displayed on the screen

Recently I had taken advantage of the new feature of defining DM[]'s with names. The program had worked previously, and general runs OK, but appears to be acting as if CTRPV[3] = 0

Any thoughts. I see the new feature where I can use a name in the CTR argument and probably will convert that to names in the future after I get this working.

Using the new # Define table, and can't find the limitations on variable names, number of characters, special characters, etc. I'm sure it's in the manuals somewhere, but just haven't been able to put my eyes on it. In the examples, I see 11 characters, and have a problem of not finding a name that has been good, but there is in the table a couple of names with "/" and "@" that probably I have to eliminate.

If someone can point me in the right direction, that would be appreciated.

This is Windows 8 Pro, and was working OK for several weeks until a recent routine upgrade of Java, then Neither Trilogi or the TLSERVER would run. With control panel > remove programs, removed and then installed both (as admin.. and XP SP3 compatibility) first j2re1.4.2_19, and Trilogi 6.45_2. Trilogi now runs OK. TLserver31gives the ?Serial driver not properly installed (was there a recent Java upgrade?) Try running ? instserial2008.exe...? message.  Ran  instserial2008.exe, with no change. Ran TLServer.jar in admin command window, the follow is the output:

A search for JSPWIN of the C:\ drive gives the output below

Which is the correct size of the JSPWIN file, and at what path should it be located. Is there anything else I need to do?

Thanking in advance.

Trilogi 6.31 with a T100MD plc. I understand with version 6.2, the underscore is used to define a comment after a contact name. I had been using the "_" (underscore) to make the names more readable, and the before the "_" is frequently the same. There are many of these. But it appears the program is working OK, or maybe haven't noticed issues. Currently I'm trying to add a few custom functions and contacts.

1: Is 6.31 handling these existing "_" as previous versions?
2: Understand names are limited to 15 characters. What are legal characters beyond the actual alpha/numeric. i.e. -*@+/\, etc.
3: Is there a way to easily change the "_" to something else? Could I use a plain text editor to search and replace?
4: Do I need to go back to version 6.1?

Any other thoughts appreciated.

This is with a T100MD + MD-HMI420

I would like to display a large number, maximum 999,999 on the display and am looking for a nice way to handle changing that number with the key pad. Since the DM[]'s only count to 65,xxx I need to break the number up to to DM[]'s

I have previously handled time and date by using a counter to keep track of which item is being edited. Then I use the KEY_1 to increment that counter. KEY_2 decrements the item, KEY_3 increments the item, and "Enter" saves the items. Some of these items are not real time, but date/time for an action, and are stored as DM[]'s. This works well.

For the large number, I plan to use 2 DM[]'s, one for the LSB 4 digits (thousands and less), and the other DM[] for 10 and 100 thousands. When the LSB one gets to 9,999, it would rollover to 0, and increment the other one.

For the changing or editing part:
1: Load all the pairs of digits into 3 counters , one for 10's and units, one for 100's and 1000's, and one for the 10,000's and 100,000's
2: A 4th counter (I have plenty unused available) would keep track of which counter is being changed. On the HMI, the edited digits would flash.
The actual editing routine uses subscripts, so you don't have lots of code, and handles under/overflow by incrementing the appropriate DM[] digit.
3: The 3 digit counters get loaded back into the 2 DM[]'s when "Enter" is pressed.

Looking for suggestions on an easier way. At this moment, just these thoughts are all that has been done.

This is with Version 6.24 with either CD version or latest Java versions on a XP PRO computer. When in either a ladder comment window, or a custom function window there is no way to cut/copy/paste text. Right click does not produce a menu window, and clicking edit is not allowed.

Anybody else with this problem. This is the first time I have tried this area since upgrading and the wide screen monitor which is the subject of another recent topic.

Just got a 23" LCD monitor 16:9 screen for the PC, and several size issues:
1: The TRILOGI (V 6.13) screen size is less than half the width of the monitor. How can I make it full width, and yes that will mean scrolling more?
2: How can I adjust the text size of both the Trilogi window, and custom functions?

3: Not related to above, but is there a way to open custom function windows to a larger size by default? Everytime I start Trilogi, and open a custom function, I need to drag the window corner to a bigger size.

Thanking in advance.
