Beta version 7.1 build 5 resolves the highlight and copy issue. Appreciate the fix.

In order to paste the copied text into the find window, you must use Ctrl-V . If I right click the neither the typical PC paste action nor the previous copy-paste menu appears. Not sure if this is what you intended, seems like an opportunity to improve the flow of the paste process.

Thanks

In simulation mode this does display correct value for the variable.

I can understand that variables that are generated from calculations or tests would not show correctly in this mode. I thought simple declarations  such as (A=45) done in startup equates would be shown - they generally don't change from program actions.


I think in manual on this feature you should make a statement that this feature does not show values for program variables unless in simulation or online monitoring. Even simple declarations in other custom functions will not be displayed unless the program is running.

I thank you for your rapid response addressing these development issues.

If I go into custom function and select variable name while holding down left mouse key, variable name highlight in yellow and remains in yellow until I right click.

When I right click:

selected text turns back to white background (no yellow)

pop up menu for copy paste etc. appears and looks selectable

when I select COPY in appearing menu list and left click no apparent action takes place. previously selected text stays appearing as not selected

If I move to find box and do Ctrl V to paste previously selected yellow text  into box - text does not paste, only item that was last cut from previous copy - paste operation still in buffer .

I have 7.1 build  02

In custom function editor if I highlight a variable name to copy it and press (cntrl_C) key the PC bell rings each time I press enter. The copy paste works but the bell is annoying.

Sure would be nice if you could highlight and paste using the mouse left and right mouse keys without the keyboard control keys - like PCs have done for many years.

Also not showing source of variable or custom function usage of variable when hover over the variable.

I am using Fx242 with Triologi 7.03 Build 7 and Ethernet connection to my PC

I have no problem using On-Line monitoring, but can't seem to terminate online monitoring at the PC.

Control+M starts the monitoring - so what is the way to terminate it from the PC ?

I'm using a Fx2424 on a new machine.

I have an application where I would like to know the current STEPSPEED without having to resort to using hardwiring of step line into the HSC1 to do a FREQUENCY command.  

The issue only will arise if I have to scale axis 1 to axis 2 while in the acceleration or deceleration ramp (follower).

I thought perhaps a register could be accessed to give current speed in SPS.

Thanks.

Appreciate your response Gary on my issue. I understand the issues to do with total accuracy and capacity of the different types of variables. In this application the code produces reliable results within the requirements of the application at hand.

The use of the floating point data type greatly simplifies both coding and debugging code without the tedium of integer conversions. The TBASIC will produce an accurate conditional test of different data types. Each application has to evaluate the effects of rounding issues and the need to accommodate tracking errors.

The issue I’m concerned with is that if you comment out the IF conditional test line and the closing ENDIF, the code that was to be executed after the THEN  should function as if the IF test were never in place.

The current complier leaves the code highlighted in the custom function editor and gives the every indication it is standing alone and functional when commented out as I indicated, when in fact that code is dead.  I believe this is a bug that needs to be fixed.

I am running 7.03 build 6 on windows 7 64 using the ancient Java version suggested by Triangle.

Thanks.
