So, ive got to the stage where ive installed nppexec but nothing happens when i push F6? Even if i go into the plugins, the options shown on the Npp dropdown are limited to just the top section, the export and copy section?

Did you follow the steps on page 4 of the Centroid Tuner App to configure Notepad++?

Yes I did. I thought the tuner app did it automatically?

From the pdf Uwe posted earlier:
"3.) Follow the steps on the next page to run the PC Tuner App to configure files for Notepad++ or configure the files manually”
Follow the last paragraph on pg. 4 if you want to the tuner app to configure it for you, or follow the instructions starting on pg. 6 if you want to do it manually.

Thanks Tom, im taklking about page 8 has this statement:
3.) For Acorn/AcornSix/Hickory systems or if you do not plan on compiling the PLC with Notepad++,
then skip to Step 12.
Does that mean if you have acorn you skip to step 12? Thats how it seems to read to me?

You would be better off with the automatic configuration using the tuner instead of trying to do a manual install.

If you want to compile the PLC using Notepad++ you'll want to continue to step 4, not skip to step 12.
