Trying to use the .vd file.

[IBS Guy]

I would like to use the .vd file to read and print the values that were held in V-memory at the time of the last Save To Disk. Is there any way to do this? I suppose I could load all the project files into a PLC then use Data View and hand copy the results but that is really not practical for the amount of data I'm trying to archive. Somebody suggested Notepad++. I didn't have much luck with that (mainly because I didn't know what I was doing) but it sure was interesting!
Thanks

You were answered at the AutomationDirect forum. Use Directsft to print the memory values.

You and franji1 are absolutely correct; I had the Memory tab mixed up with the Docs tab. While I have your attention, the instructions for the Formatted check box read "Formatted - Use previously saved format information rather than raw data". How do I create and save this format information?

Thanks

How do I create and save this format information?

Tools->Memory Editor

This lets you define each V as BCD or Decimal or REAL, etc.  Make sure you hit the Write to Disk button in the Memory Editor to save the data and formatting to the Project.

The formatting is stored in DirectSOFT project's .VF file (so .VD and .VF are the data/format of V).
