Support Questions / Re: Problem with Controls Blinking/Flickering

« on: November 13, 2014, 09:49:21 AM »

So I kept the flickering components in place and added a few more with the addresses:
B3:0/0
B3:1/0
B3:2/0
B3:8/0
B12:0/9
B12:0/10
B12:0/11
B12:0/12

These new controls worked perfectly and only the ones that flickered before were showing the problem. I can assign bits to the I/O as a workaround and it should work fine. I appreciate your help and  please let me know if there is anything you would like me to test further to assist you. Again thanks for your time and generosity.

Support Questions / Problem with Controls Blinking/Flickering

« on: November 12, 2014, 02:05:01 PM »

First off, thanks for the great program and your assistance with this problem. This may be user error but it seems that when I add components on the same output/input card everything works fine but as soon as I add another control using an address outside the first card everything begins to flicker. I was originally using a custom control (a simple pilot light) I had made which is where I began seeing the flickering. It maybe coincidental but it seems if the data is a high value (True) then the control would not flicker low but all of the low value controls would flicker high. I switched to the provided pilot light control and the lamp illumination does not flicker but I get a flicking legend plate label that alternates from the specified label text to "Invalid Value Returned" and then a random number(1187 or -3655 for example). I added simple labels for the same addresses and they flicker from the correct true or false to the random number. I am not sure of the problem because I have used AdvancedHMI for a few other applications and never had a problem but that was a previous release. Hopefully I haven't confused you too much and I tried to provide any relevant information below. I will continue to play around and see if I can find the problem or a workaround but any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
