Reading never finishes

[dhullett08]

I'm trying to use this tool to backup some important Persisted data. I can connect to my target, but when I click read from plc, The message Reading GVL.gDryingDialData appears and nothing else happens. This variable is a global persisted var and is not very big. about 400 bytes total. I also was not able to find the logfile output anyhwere? where does the log get stored? Also whats the Select A Connection dropdown for? It always has an * with no other options.
