I would assume you have called the SetDigitalAlarm() from the graphics page. If this is the case then while the page is displayed it is constantly calling this function. Try adding a sleep() time to the function, or create a new function that calls this funtion with tasknew()

no no no no Cicode Foreground tasks are for immediate display not alarming - there is NO time to wait for the code to complete what it appears you are doing is using a cicode display function to create alarms When you are on a different page this alarm will not trip - the code does not execute Tagread is a BLOCKing function - it cannot be used on a display function Two possible methods to make it work 1) IF the code is page specific then use the page_entry property to call code with a while (1) DO loop example Cicode TagWrite 2) If the code is to run all the time then use the built in alarming - Analog alarm - Advanced alarm (one entry per Tag_alarm_x) 3) IF the Tag Ramp_Float is an operator entry then put that code into the Action
