I did not ensure that the Gateway and DNS were set. They are now. Those are items I rarely have to configure, I didn't even think about it. Yes, it works now. By the way, in the System Manager, I cannot find anywhere the Diagnostics that you referred to. Thanks for the help. ------------------------ ...

I have followed the Widget Development example posted on LinkedIn by @Ash. It uses the RestSharp nuget package to fetch the weather using the Tomorrow.io API. I actually got it working. It works fine on the emulator, both Native and Web presentation engines. However, both engines fail to retrieve the ...

I have seen similar behavior trying to display an IO tag description using the Tag Grid from the Optix Studio library. The IO is point Max if that matters. But anyway, some tag descriptions will display fine all the time, but some will not appear at all, or briefly be visible then disappear, like a flash. ...

This is how I done it. Here is an operator spinbox input. The value is a PLC tag of type real. Then in the PLC, multiply by 60000 Finally, the duration is the destination PLC tag shown above. It is a simple DINT. -------------------------------------------

RE: FToptix Stylesheet default values

Yes, true, I can see what the default is easily, but I was thinking of a scenario where, in a particular project, the user can change style sheets. I have a color picker to change a few global colors on the "current" stylesheet. I would like to have a default button to set those values back to default. ...

Is there any way to know or retrieve the default values of an item in a stylesheet. For instance, I have a color picker to change a few global colors on the current stylesheet. I would like to have a default button to set it back to the original value. See the pic, I want to know the "Reset Value" ...

Thanks for the replies so far. I didn't think it was configurable. I'm curious as to how often the poll happens. I know Windows normally syncs once a week. -------------------------------------------

How often does the Optix panel poll the remote time server? Is this a property that can be set, or did I miss it somewhere in the documentation? -------------------------------------------

Szymon, your procedure for displaying Local Module Data Point descriptions only works for me if Tag Optimization is set to False. I am displaying said descriptions in a Tag Grid. In the above pic, notice Local 5 and 6 descriptions. All good. Also notice the test label at the bottom right corner. ...

To get a description of, say, a Local Input, I had to do it like this. Make an alias to the Local input card. If you put the description on the Local input card itself, it will NOT work, even with "Enable extended properties" checked. But the alias description shows up just fine. I am showing this data ...

I thought I would follow up with this. I ended up restarting Optix studio several times. Performing an online import a couple times. Then the offline import magically decided to work. So, maybe it's good now. -------------------------------------------
