Re: Change tag Units using instances and scripts

This forum post talks a little about scripting with aliases. Most people use expressions to convert between one scale and another. Expressions are associated with Analog Numeric boxes.

Re: Tcp exception only on target

Most of our HMIs use WinCE, which has only a subset of C# functions that the full C# has. You may be using a function that is in the full .NET C# libraries but not in the WinCE version. I would need to see your project as well as know what HMI you are targeting before I could suggest any possible so...

Re: Getting Started Issues

To use the referenced value in your expression you can go Globals.Tags.MyTag.Value. If that tag was associated with your Analog Numeric Box, or other obejct that you are using an expression on, then it will reference the value in that box. "value" should only be used as the result of your operation ...

Re: iX Runtime install problems (Windows 7)

Something is blocking the installer from putting files in the areas it wants to. Most likely you are not an Admin on the machine. You could try and right click on the setup.exe and selected "Run as Admin ...". That will run the installed as an admin. There could also be an anti-virus that is prevent...

Re: Modify log interval on a datalogger

The only way to modify the datalogger interval is to use the "Log on Tag Event" and tie that to a tag that is toggled by a timer. Than you can change the timer interval, which would in turn change the toggle interval of the tag.

You could have the timer interval specified by a tag.

Re: Audit Trail data deletion

Yes, but you have to run a SQL delete query against the datalogger database as well as the audit tail database. There are many forum posts on this topic.

Re: Problem accessing Mitsubishi A-Series CPU

You should take a look at this forum post. About the only way to debug such problems is to sniff the serial port traffic on the line. You should see traffic coming from the HMI and whether or not the Controller is responding to those requests.

Loop through onscreen controls

You may wish to dynamically loop through a set of controls on a screen. To do that you need a function that you can give the name of a Text control to and get back a pointer to that control. In this example I create a function that allows me to pass in a Text control name and get back a reference to...

Re: Email send error

You need to use a different email server. You have setup the email in iX Developer correctly. Your issue is with the gmx email server you are using.
