Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

 

Release date: 4th December 2015

 

Fixes and improvements:

 

Installation:

•Added a message to say which build of SpecView the user can go back to if they are trying to install a later build after expiry

 

Dongle:

•It is now possible to install SpecView and run in Demo mode even if the 'free updates until' date has passed

 

General:

•While in Edit mode Online, going offline when data entry boxes were open could cause 'Failed to come out of runtime' error

 

GDW:

•There was an occasional crash when going offline after using buttons with the action 'GDW: Close this and Swap to'
•Could not delete Position Dynamics waypoints which were assigned to buttons
•Recipe screens could close sometimes after a Recipe had been downloaded

 

Variables List:

•Using 'Replace' from the 'Options' menu to change an IP address in an instrument could hang
•Variables List Import when errors occurred during the import the file was not closed, which caused a problem when making another attempt to export or import

 

Logging:

•Log File Convert could sometimes crash under certain circumstances

 

Trend Charts:

•Trend Charts clear on batch change was confused by the batch tag being set to '[  ]' which made it erroneously clear the chart

 

Archive:

•Creating an Archive could cause SpecView's journalling of actions to stop, and not restart until the next day
•Making a SpecView Archive would cause a spurious dump file to be generated.

 

Networking:

•The Remote now displays a warning message if the Local is running a newer build of SpecView
•The Remote could be incorrectly denied access saying that there were not enough Remote licenses on the dongle
•Batch tags were not being checked on Remotes, so Trend Charts on a Remote couldn't act on them
•Remotes reconnecting to a previously offline Local could be mis-labelled as '--' in the Remote Users Attached list
•Remotes reconnecting to a previously offline Local could sometimes fail to connect
•Remotes could occasionally hang during reconnect

 

ActiveX:

•ActiveX controls could have transparent fields and buttons when screens were opened or swapped to
•Trying to go into Edit mode offline from start-up by holding the control key while clicking 'Start' does not work with configurations containing ActiveX controls

 

Modbus:

•New modbus driver 4.1.12.x fixes a number of lockups (causing flat lines on Trend Charts) and crashes
•Write Sequence for booleans was not working as the write fails with the error: 18210
•Occasional Modbus lockup while writing values to devices that were not present
•Implement Boolean from Enum decoding in Modbus

 

Watlow:

•Implement Boolean from Enum decoding for StdBus
