Hi all!

I just installed a Imon Ultra Bay in my computer the remote work perfectly drived by the Imon Manager.
I had enabled and configed the minidisplay plug-in.
The type is "Soundgraph imon USB VFD/LCD PLUG-IN V28-01-2008", port is "USB" and Display type is "VFD" in the Advanced settings.
As I start MP,the VFD will be black and be power off as soon as
activate the Minidisplay plug-in during MP start procssing.
Detailed as following:
1.Actived Minidisplay plug-in during MP start;
2.Imon Manager shut-down;
3.Imon manager start-up auto and set VFD "Never";
4.Ultra bay vfd diaplay is black and power off;
Is there no support for Ultra bay?
Can you help me? check my log files,please.
Many thanks.

Thank you a lot, It has been work well as I select Display Type "LCD".

your configuration is very well. It is also help me.
Now, I want to let LCD diaplay CPU load.
I think may be modified XML file, would you know how to configur it?

Maybe using this plugin (https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/plugins-47/mp-dashboard-system-info-49715/#post339095 ) you will be able to see CPU load on the Imon display when using MP and i don't know if there's any another way to to this...

I have the antec fusion max case.. I just got it - which has the same imon display as you guys.... I applied these same settings, yet am getting no results. with frontview and mp off it scrolls all the system info and such.. then when i start mediaportal the screen displays all of the pixels, basically lit up.. and changes back to frontview when i leave mediaportal.. same thing happens when i hit 'test' it just lights up completely..

Im getting these errors in the log:
