Damian_2007 Posts: 21 Rating: (0)	Hi: I can NOT force a variable (a mark, M125.0 for example) in a CPU 155U in RUN Mode with the STEP 5 software (Ver. 7.23). I know that I have to use the Test and list in a BB (Image Block) the mark in BYTE format and force the bit that I want to 1, but inmediatly it goes to 0. I read the STEP 5 manual, and I´m follow the instruccion in the TEST section. Is There an special condition or something else to do that ? I hope you help me. Its necesary to force the complete byte ??? Thanks Best Regards. Damián
