Well that's a bummer. I thought the ability to log current was one of the big marketing points about this new roboRIO and PDP?

[quote]If you instantiate a PowerDistributionPanel object ... you can access the current of individual channels as well as the total current in real time. /QUOTE]

We use labview - our programmer's able to display the individual currents in real time - didn't know we could display total current? I'd considered asking him to sum all the individual together or something like that and display the sum but if there's an easier way that's inherent to labview - can anyone advise on that?

Looking at instantaneous current values is better than nothing, but it'll really be nice to be able to look at a log after the fact. Any advice?
