Can't set DSC alarm levels to fractional values

Hi

We use LV8.6 with DSC module under XP Pro.

I am building an application which should configure/monitor alarms on locally deployed numeric double shared variables.

I don't seem to be able to set fractional alarm levels neither through Project Explorer nor through Distributed System Manager. E.g. I try to set level of HI_HI alarm to 1.50. What I see is that the values does change when I enter it, but it gets rounded up to the closest integer if I open Properties for this shared variable once again (or use property node to read it).

 

If I use property node to set the levels I am able to get them set to fractional values. There is an issue with auto-acknowledgement of the alarm in the this case though (the alarm does not get auto-acknowledged when the variable's value gets back to non-alarm range).

 

I would appreciate any comments on the issues I'm experiencing.


 

Thank you in advance!
