    Since upgrading to C-Bus toolkit 1.11.4 I've been having trouble editing DLT labels on UK Saturn 4 Gang DLT switches.

    I'm a newbie but i'm sure this worked fine under previous versions of the Toolkit.

    Problem occurs when i create a new scene locally on a DLT unit and attempt to give it a new name/label.

    I can enter the details fine on the input unit and commit to the network, but the behaviour of the input unit is unpredictable. for example sometimes the new label doesn't appear on the unit, or multiple button locations on the input unit now have the same label. More puzzling other DLT units on the same network now have the new label visible by random buttons.

    I've tried resetting the labels on the DLT unit via the Status tab, but this doesn't seem to address the issue. Any help much appreciated.

    In case it helps i'm connecting to the cbus network via a PAC and Win7.

    many thanks

    If you say that you didn't have this problem previously, can you go back to the version of Toolkit that you think worked without problems and test it? This will help track down if it's a Toolkit issue or some other issue.

    The most common cause of problems with DLT labelling is network communication problems, so it would pay to check that your network comms is up to scratch.
