Database Spy Usage

When in design mode does the Database Spy show the values of tags or have you to do something extra. Any tag I have entered here show a value of zero and the connection Quality is good. When used in the program the tags show their true value.

Another problem I have is with tags reading the temperature from a PLC. These have been working up until I decided to do a Verify. This came back with no issues, but I have not been able to get the values from the PLC since then. This is where the Database Spy is confusing as it says the connection is good. The same PLC has other analogue inputs and these are showing up OK. The PLC is not faulty as a touch screen is able to show the temperatures.

Should I just reinstall Indusoft. I also thought that the output window could be cleared by right clicking on it, but this does not give any options.

  • Decided to uninstall Indusoft and then do a fresh install. This seemed to fix the issue with the Database Spy, but the Output Window still does not function as it should. Is there a setting in the windows registry which needs manually adjusted to allow the right click menu to appear. Still have not been able to get the temperature readings from the PLC.
