I am using a TEXT button on Streamdeck to display the distance to TOD on the PMDG B737. I have a script that reads the PMDG variable and writes it to an AAO local (PMDG:FMC_DistanceToTOD)·(>L:MyTOD) . I call the variable in Streamdeck with S:(L:MyTOD). As written, the variable only updates when I use the TEST button in the script editor....I know I'm missing something basic here, but how do I update this read everytime the variable changes?

Thanks,

Mike

Can't you read the variable simply as type "L:" and "myTOD" on the StreamDeck?

Using S: for simple operations like this one will cause degrading performance and increase latency. S: is a very "expensive" operation, only to be used when you have no other choice. If you just want to read a single variable, select the type in the dropdown and enter the name in the box
