Hi all, glad to find you guys.

Got a question. I am on my second installation using CamSoft Professional, and in both cases now, I am not having any luck using their GAUGE displays.

My goal is to have a "real-time" display of my spindle speed setpoint. At the moment, I have code in the Timer.fil (and, yes, the Timer.fil is enabled) but for some reason, the display does not work as I would expect. The timer is set to update every 1000 ms.

This is my code:
\66={s*(\74/200)}
GAUGE1 \66;12

What I end up getting is the needle "over-writing" itself and disappearing. I other words, I have been able to make it display (by issuing a GAUGE1 0;10 command from the diagnostics command line) but once the Timer.fil fires two more times, the needle disappears.

I tried this code in the Timer.fil:
IF\999=1 THEN GOTO :HERE
\66={s*(\74/200)}
GAUGE1 \66;12
\999=1
EXIT
:HERE
GAUGE1 0;12
\999=0

When I did, the gauge worked, but cycled between 0, the speed value, and "disappeared". Very weird.

If this makes any sense, can anyone tell me how to successfully set up a gauge like I am wanting?

Thanks,
Steve
