I'm trying to build a device that has VU meters. I found the VU meter 2 circut, which is great, but there was no corresponding representation in Surface Design. So I saved out the visual meter that was in VU Meter's surface. I loaded that into my own device, made all the connections, it worked great. I loaded my device into Scope Platform 4.0, and there was no meter!!

I can not remotely figure out why it will display in the SDK and not in the normal Scope software. Does anybody have any ideas on how to resolve this?

Thanks!!

Hey , I had the same issue. What i did wrong is that i didn't protect my device.
It you don't protect , every item that was draged from the circuit Design dir disapeares in the sfp4.0!

So now i save 2 copys of the same project.
One unprotected for editing , and one protected for testing in SFP4.0.

cheers,
Casper

Thanks -- that worked! It's annoying but it's OK. Unfortunately I had deleted all my VU meters in disgust, and now I'll have to put them back in! Oh, well....

By the way, I've learned something...if you have too many surface groups the GUI slows down to a crawl. I moved some surface children to parents and it got faster. So if you ever have performance issues, you can try that.
