    Good Evening Tim,

    It's still possible to download the project example?  I'm struggling reading 16bit Input from copley drives via PDO and your manual could help me a lot.

    Thanks in advice 

    Best Regards

    Hi Ricardo,

    I just happened to pop in here and saw this.  I've corrected the posts so the files are reachable by link now.  Good luck!

    Hi D'Agostino,

    If you are asking about my module here, you can choose to import the display using the visilogic "Import" function. Instructions are in the text file in the download.

    If you are speaking about the built-in Unitronics function, the truth is, I only ever used it once, and never on the 1040, so I'm not sure myself where to begin. Ask in the general forum and you will find more help there.

    Best of Luck!

    A few more helpful tidbits:

    1. When you set up your virtual machine, choose "multiple files" for your virtual hard drive. Makes copying alot easier if, as I found out too late, your backup drive is FAT32, and won't accept a single file larger than 4 gig. Theoretically, it can lead to a performance hit, but I haven't noticed one.

    2. Don't pre-allocate the drive space. There's really just no reason to, and why use space you don't need?

    3. If, like me, you have an original XP install disk, go out RIGHT NOW to microsoft's website and download the service pack stand-alone installers (1a, 2 and 3). MS has discontinued support for any version of XP prior to SP3, and you won't be able to get updates unless you install these directly. SP1a and SP2 can be downloaded through linux, but for whatever reason, MS only allows downloading SP3 from a windows environment.

    On a side note, if you have a kvetchy program that doesn't like the later SPs, you can create a VM with any combination you like going this route.

    Background - I don't know if they had this show in Israel in any form, but when I was a kid, there was this program called "The Great Space Coaster" that I watched every morning before school. It was a "Sesame Street" style variety show with puppets, songs, and animated sequences, and it was alot of fun. One of the segments was a newscaster who got really perturbed if there was anything to report.

    Which is to say that there is an entire segment of american men to whom, should you say "No gnus is good gnus" ("g is not silent") they will immediately reply "With Gary Gnu".

    I'm still amazed after all these years I randomly run into people that remember this :)
