A question for the "eye candy" department. ;) Could it be possible to use a .png as a background for the VCP instead of a solid color? Something like a brushed stainless steel, etc. like these.... Not sure if you're referring to our awesome graphics or my good looks but yes, this is simpl...

The API between an app and CNC12 is more of a one way street where the app has to request information from CNC12. If you are looking for changes in several outputs, I would recommend setting up a watchlist and checking if the states of the outputs match the previous state and act accordingly. The ca...

The mpuplcprograms directory tree is installed in C:\Program Files (x86)\Centroid\mpuplcprograms
It gets deleted and recreated every time the installer is run to ensure the plcs are up to date with that version.
