martinav (Customer) asked a question.
I need to get the value of a string into windows so I can evaluate the entirity of it. I have tried selecting several things and even in the data view. Status shows it there, but I cannot select any of it and copy to notepad or something. When I <CNTRL-C> <CNTRL-V> I just get:
"Do-more Designer Clip
Source Project: C:\Users\Kelso\OneDrive\PLC_Programs\03_Thermotron_FixCycleReset
Format: Do-more Designer 2.00+ DO-MORE Watch"
The clipboard operation you are trying is the Data View entry, not the raw data.
Open the strings in a memory view. On the far right of the memory view toolbar, is the Export Memory Data option that will dump the range into a CSV file.
@HOST_BobO (AutomationDirect) ,
Actually, perhaps there is a better way to do this. I am wanting a sequential list of the stages in a program. The status indication isnt really good enough to get me what I need. I just want a list of stage numbers in the order they execute. Is there a log that can do this?
I'm not sure I understand. You are wanting the current status of each stage?
My program runs perfect first time through. I have a reset step, then run through a program again. Its not going right the second time. I need to see what steps are running, and what conditions are possibly wrong. So, I dont need current status, I just need a sequential list of stage numbers as it runs through the program.
Depending on how fast the stages run, you can create a Trend View with a range of stages. Then you can easily see what flows to what. Another easy answer is to use a rising edge contact of the stage's bit to print to a string array, then increment an index. So in each stage, print to SS[V0], then increment V0. V0 will show the total number of stages, and SS0-# contains the log.
