I need to import ASCll data that is stored in V memory locations with the AIN instruction into Lookout. Any ideas on how I can do this? In Data View of DirectSoft I can see the correct data stored in the V memory locations if I set the data type to "TEXT ". If I try to view the data through Lookout all I see is the decimal equivalent (I guess). Any help would be appreciated Thanks, Pete

Don't know what Lookout is but if you just want to save to a text file you could try dataworx Plc from www.inteworx.net
The only drawback on this is that you do have to do some PLC programming but its minimal.
