Hi List, I have a couple of DM displays containing strings/discretes and IO000#'s from sequences. These strings are configured as follows: C:B.IO0001 Continuous selected Connected to text Parameter .SN0001 the discretes are C:B.IO0001 lowest state 0 number of states 60 0 = text1 1 = text2 etc.... This setup works on all displays except on 1 or 2, where all of the string values connected to this IO0001 are smurfed. They show the correct strings/text but the field background is blue. When I refresh the display a couple of times the smurfing sometimes disapears, but not always. When I set the IO0001 to another value (this IO0001 is the trigger for the string value or text to be updated) the smurfing disapears also. I've been using this setup for the last 12 years or so and it always worked, but a couple of days ago the smurfing problem started to appear, strangly enough always on the same displays. Any ideas on how to avoid this smurfing? Thanks & Rgds, Dirk Pauwels - DCS/MOC coordinator Engineering dept.
