I am trying to display a REAL datatype on the HMIST6500 from a M251. I only see "0.0" on the display.
I am setting %MD80 to a value of 3.5 and it shows as a real within the Machine Expert program when On-Line.
The HMI options for REAL data types are %Mi %MFi, %SWi or %KWi so I make a var1 with address %MF80.
I display var1.value as FloatFixed (the format) with 4 Integer Digits and 1 Decimal Places.
I've tried other formats and the display only shows 0.0.
Anyone know what I am doing incorrectly.

Hello,
Memory numbering is different between SoMachine/Machine Expert and Vijeo Designer/Operator Terminal Expert.
