Hi John
Thanks for the clarification ....

I have the ramping up / down working in a fashion but somethings not quite
right....It appears to increment  on two consecutive increment commands but
say on the third increment command it decrements  and then on the next
increment it increments by two ???

In the monitor i can see the cmd to xpl-cate with a value of 110...but in
the xpl-gate  trig  message it has 80.....??? and if i look at the cbus
global for the lite its set on 90.....

Just noticed some late xpl -cgate triggers coming thru....It appears John
its the issue with the delayed messages i have on this version of xpl-cgate
i mentioned before is the cause ....Have just restarted cgate and i can now
ramp up / down the lite and all messages have the same global
value; -))......Im sure you mentioned this issue has been fixed ??

Just need to now incorporate the USB UIRT Hardware into my setup........
Thanks
Frank
