This is a tiny little problem, but may be worth mention.

I am using RSLogix 7.10.00 (CPR 7)

I have a CGM (Custom Graphic Monitor) that displays some sorting information. Three of the fields are ASCII displays with indirect addressing.

It is supposed to show the text value for the barcode assigned to each of three sorting lanes.

When I first open the file and open the CGM, it will display incorrect (old) values. Once I open the data table containing the indirect addresses (N40:11, 12, and 13), or view them in the ladder, AND stop and restart the CGM, the display is correct.

Not a huge hairy deal, but it made me scratch my head a little at first.
