Limited number of characters in Display?

We get a long MQTT string to be displayed. Is it possible to display the entire string? It seems that display block trims it and shows "*" sign that abviously indicates that the original value is longer.

Re: Limited number of characters in Display?

Hi Stepan,
yes the Display block is limited to 80 characters. If you need to see the whole string, you can try watching the corresponding input or output pin in Watch mode of REXYGEN Studio. You can also try saving the string to a file on disk, using the SILOS block. Afterwards you can analyze the string.

Kind regards,
Jaroslav
