So, it makes sense that while data is updating Jan has the channels greyed out. Since Prodatum is open source, if the 1 second delay doesn't work with your performance/editing modality perhaps you can create a custom version that doesn't grey out the channels.
Hmm, never thought of tinkering with Prodatum source, but it's nice to have the possibility. Anyway, the real question for me is - why doesn't my Command Station respond properly?

Exactly! That's what I wrote in my first post - I know Prodatum works for others, so the problem must be on my end. I'm asking in hope that Jan or other Command Station gurus might have an idea why it could be misbehaving like that.

Actually, I had an idea yesterday, haven't checked it though... if it works, I'll let you know!

If that was the case, I suppose the Command Station would not be recognized at all.
