Hi Duncan,
I gave your script a try and it appears to work on my system (6.4)
The IP address of My Ultrix is 10.10.1.41 and i am using port 7788 for rosstalk
Make user that your Rosstalk service is turned on. System, Configuration,Connections, Services.
this is the code I used in my dashboard page.
<task tasktype="rosstalk">rosstalk.sendMessage('10.10.1.41', 7788, 'TXTLABEL ID:25; TEXT:CAM1; BGCLR:0x00,0x00,0x00; TXTCLR:0xFF,0xFF,0xFF');</task>
This is the same in Bitfocus Companion.
TXTLABEL ID:25; TEXT:CAM1; BGCLR:0x00,0x00,0x00; TXTCLR:0xFF,0xFF,0xFF
