Add a BasicLabel to the form and set PLCAddressValue to the same address you put in PLCAddressItems of the ChartWithLogging. Run it to see if the BasicLabel gets a value.

The directory and file were finally created, not sure how long the delay was. I think you have addressed this before, sorry,,, If you could remind me. Is the Directory  and file supposed to be created when we do a build?

The file and directory is created either at midnight or when the application is closed. Do note that if you kill the application by using the stop button in VS or using Task Manager it is not a controlled shut down therefore it will be unable to create the file.
