The noob returns!

In the attached image, you can see where I've configured a remote analog output. Where I'm having a hard time, laughably enough, is how to address that output module in my program. The usual "Q1.0" isn't working.

I get the feeling I'm missing something super obvious here with regard to syntax. Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

In the topic header you write "analog output", but Q1.0 is a digital output.
Is the problem that you are using a BOOL variable for an instruction that requires a WORD or an INT ?

Also, in the setup of your hardware, you are starting on un-even addresses. Not sure if it is an issue or not, but one should use even addresses.

Thanks as always, Jesper!
