Support Questions / ChartbySampling Line thickness

« on: March 31, 2016, 02:25:01 PM »

Hi I am still very much a newbie and I have several lines being plotted on the ChartbySampling control.  Is there a property or field that can be adjusted so the lines that are plotted are thicker or can be sized different.  The current ones are very fine and hard to see on a tablet. 

Thanks in advance!

Tips & Tricks / Re: AdvancedHMI on a Tablet

I am very new to the VB coding scene, and I am making progress but have some simple questions for you guys:

I would like to try and run my application on a Windows 10 tablet.  In order to run the Visual Basic 2015 code (from Visual Studio 2105) on the tablet, what needs to be downloaded to the  tablet from Microsoft?  I did not find a redistributable .net frame versions for Visual Basic 2105.   Do I have to download the whole Visual Studio?  I was hoping for just the necessary runtime files to be loaded on the tablet.

Tips & Tricks / Re: ChartBySampling (version 3.98r or later)

Hi Archie thanks again for all your hard work on this project.  I am using the ChartBySampling and when I set the X axis to "Time" it only shows 12:00 A.M. on the chart in run time.  I am using the latest version of software and it appears that the fix you suggested on line 198 in the code may not be relevant in the newer version.  Any suggestions to get this part working?

Thanks!

Thanks Archie!!  A couple of more questions:  Is there a way to link a basic label to a property field?  I would like to have the user input the Communication IP address in from the form via a label that would the be linked to the ModbusTCP1 PLC  IP address property.  Also, I need to read a string of characters from consecutive registers in the PLC.  Is there a way to do this from the available library components without writing code?

Thanks Archie!  I downloaded the basic label pdf and it was very helpful.  In my project I need buttons that when pressed send a specific value to the PLC.  For example I will need a start button that when pressed it sends a 62 to the PLC.  Can this be done with the "Meter and Buttons" components?  Also are there any components in your library that function like mult-state indicators?  For example I would like to show a state of a PLC register with a label that reads the value out of a register and displays the state with text.  If 62 = start, 63 = off, 68 = idle, then I would like the indicator to display a message based on what value is in the register. 

Thanks for your help!

Hello, I just am getting started and so far so good.  Was able to put up a panel meter and get it communicating with my PLC.   Where is the best place to get documentation on the various components in the toolbox?  For example, I have no idea what the datasubscriber does and would like to know more about it and it's properties. 

Thanks!
