problem with Meter Expansion Pack 3.99y beta

[jazzplayermark]

I'm trying to use the LinearMeterH and LinearMeterV components and keep getting an error at runtime.

The component works fine and then posts the error 'Invalid Slc/Micro address - 30'. It's cyclic and repeats every few seconds.

I used the files from the root of the extracted folder.

What address are you using? Can you tried the same address in a BasicLabel to see if it is a driver problem or a meter problem?

[jazzplayermark]

I'm using the same address in a basic label, panelmeter and pressure gauge and they all seem fine. This is not an emergency Archie. You can take the day off .

That message does come from the driver and the message should return the address following the dash. So that tells me the meter is trying to subscriber to address "30".

- In Solution Explorer, select the form that has the meter by clicking it once
- Click the icon at the top of Solution Explorer for Show All Files
- Now expand down the form's vb file so you can see the .designer.vb file
- Open that file
- Scroll down until you see the section with the comment that matches the name of the meter
- Post that block of code so I can use it to make sure I replicate all of the same property values you have

Here is one of the meters.

This is where the problem is coming from:

PLCAddressTargetValue = "30"


Did you mean to put that n TargetValue ?

[jazzplayermark]

Oh guezz... I meant to put that in the property 'target value', not PlcAddressTargetValue...

thanks. that fixed it...
