Compiling error

[jmcinnisjr]

Hi all, 

I'm using lookout 5.1.  I'm trying to port the working files to 6.2.  When the .lks file is opened and recompiled I get the following error.

..._scada.lks(29449): error: Variable value expected: '"Timer_sound_Lookout_alarm"'.  I think I work around this some time in the past but all the alarms went silent.  Any thoughts?

The error means a variable value is expected, however the "Timer_sound_Lookout_alarm" is not.

Could you upload your lks file to ftp://ftp.ni.com/incoming? It is not easy to specify how to troubleshoot this error.

Hi Ryan,

I uploaded the .lks file to your ftp site as norwell_scada_lks.zip

Thanks,

Open the lks file in text editor, go to line 29449. Or you can search for "Timer_sound_Lookout_alarm" and you will find this line

Sound_controls\PlayWave_on_alarm= new PlayWave ("Timer_sound_Lookout_alarm",

Remove the double quotes. The Timer_sound_Lookout_alarm is a pulse object, which should not be in quotes.
