MSP430F4132 LCD_A Configuration

E2E Community,

I've recently been trying to get the LCD_A Control Module working on the F4132 and have run into some trouble getting the pins to interact with my LCD. From my understanding, the updating the bits in the LCDMEM register should automatically configure the LCD_A controller to update the pins based on its configuration. When I measure the pins on an oscilloscope, the values on the COM ports are not varying from the internal voltage levels for V5-V1. They simply maintain their voltage at around 0mv +- some noise. I have, however, had some luck manually toggling the port pins using them as standard GPIO pins but I'd rather not re-invent the wheel... Code Posted below, any help would be great.

  // Configure the COM Ports to Special Functionality

  P1SEL = BIT6;                                           // Enable the ACLK

  LCDACTL = LCDFREQ_64 + LCD4MUX + LCDON;           // Set Frequency divider to 64, 4bit mux (LCDSON included), and turn on LCD_A module

  LCDAPCTL0 = 0xFF;                                     // Enable LCD Pin functions for segments 0-31

  LCDAVCTL1 = VLCD_3_02;                                   // Set Charge Pump to 3.02V

// Clear the LCD Segment Memory

  for(int i = 0; i <20; i++){

   *(i+LCDMEM) = 0x00; 

  }

  LCDM1 = 0x02;

  LCDM16 = 0x00;

  while(1);

  return 0;

}
