I am new to using Automation Direct. I am sure I 've overlooked something simple, but I am using a VPRINT box on a DL06 to write System Errors to V-mem. I am then putting the V-mem location on the LCD at the panel. So far works fine. The problem is when I try to also put the Error into a Dynamic Text box on the C-more. I get a little square character instead of the text. Only a problem for the HMI, LCD reads fine. I can use the DataView tool in DS5 to write text to the memory location and everything works fine, the message is displayed on LCD and HMI. Is there a trick to using VPRINT, or is there another way to do this that would be better.
