Table object storing all data with same time

I have a data table I'm trying to use for all data viewing/storage. When viewing the data in MAX, it's showing every entry as having the same timestamp. If I log data directly from the RTU instead then the logging works fine. I'm using Lookout 6.1. Thanks in advance for any help.

Can you make a sample to show how you use the datatable for data viewing and storage?

 

I give a changing value to a datatable cell, and log that cell, it works fine.

Let's say I have an RTU called AquatrolTank, and a data member AquatrolTank.Level. If I were to turn the logging of that point on, it would correctly show a trend and MAX data, but I keep the logging off there.

 

Then I have a datatable called water, and a member Water.TankLevel. I have the connection Water.TankLevel= AquatrolTank.Level; in the .lks. It's logging changes as well, but they all end up with the same time stamp.

 

I've done this in other projects and it worked fine; perhaps I'm either missing something silly here or there's a quirk from 5.x to 6.x that brought this about?

What if you use hypertrend in lookout to monitor the datatable trend?

Does the trend keep going?

The trend shows a flatline except for that one time, where it shows a "vertical anomaly" presumably having all the data points MAX was showing.

I tested loading the .lks in 5.1 and the trends worked fine coming from the table. This appears to be a 6.1 issue. Any thoughts?

Could you upload your process file to ftp://ftp.ni.com/incoming

I want to set up the same application to reproduce the problem so that I won't miss anything.
