This is without switch unit in project or secondary app - notice the box "only show DTL units" not selected - which i believe should show all the DLT text.

create some action selectors for a few trigger addresses and try.

 

When powered up PC this morning all was ok so went looking for sequence that cause the problem.

goto trigger control in left pane
open up groups in left pane
open a group and look at dlt text on a action selector
goto network and dlt labels
now when try to open trigger control fails

can reproduce the error every time.


It will still show DLT text on a single group or action selector - pic

Would it be address over-flow? There are 255 Trigger addresses, with maybe 10 action selector each, so there are 2550 labels to be displayed....Or toolkit may take an hour to load all these labels......

 

Got it – when toolkit show the DLT text on a single group and its in red (too long) when you save it does not write the truncated text, it writes nothing.
Now if all the text entries are too long when you open full DLT window it does not show the default DLT text.
It wants at least one valid DLT entry.

If you create a new database and add one group in the lighting and trigger applications. Now go to the main DLT editing window and turn off the only show in units option.
In lighting application it shows the group text but if you go to the trigger group nothing.
Trigger DTL text is only shown if there is text there already.
