Release date: 27th Dec 2016
Fixes and improvements:
General:
| • | Fastcount would not always start correctly without exiting SpecView and running it again. SETTINGS.INI setting for Fastcount can now be changed on-the-fly and takes effect from going Online in the Project |
| • | When a Runtime-Only dongle is connected the 'New Manual Project' and 'Test comms for New Project' buttons are now grayed-out |
| • | An instance of Failed To Come Out Of Runtime fixed |
GDW:
| • | Full Screen mode at Runtime does not work EditMode->RT |
| • | Scrollbars need to be wider for larger screens |
| • | GDW Corruption when loading GDOs has been fixed for new Objects, but some oddities remain with older GDWs |
| • | Buttons defined with System font > 10 < 20 are now resized to 10 by default now, unless ForceSystem10=N in [Settings] section of SV3.INI |
| • | Horizontal scrollbars made wider to allow smaller screens to view larger projects |
Trend Charts:
| • | Export to CSV not working |
| • | Current batch no chosen for batch replay is shown on the trend chart |
| • | Time Axes disappear on Batch replay with rescaled axes |
| • | Trend chart batch replay would sometimes blank the Time axes or the chart itself when the batch end was replayed to |
| • | Memory leak in Trend Chart CSV export |
| • | Trend Chart Setup dialog box could crash if the same pen was on a chart more than once |
Variables List:
| • | Enum Names are overwritten to the originals every time during IDF update. Unless AutoUpdateEnum=N in [CONFIG] section of SV3.INI |
Data Logging:
| • | Attempt to read over corrupt log file |
| • | Crash when editing log report formats fixed |
| • | Lockup in logging when a large number of interrelated parameters going unavailable |
| • | A Logfile corruption caused a crash in log file convert. It now skips over the zeroed blocks and attempts to re-sync the next available good data |
| • | SpecView Modbus exception code 18211 (Modbus exception code 11) was not treated as a timeout, which caused SpecView to request the parameter at the usual rate instead of turning the instrument off. With lots of instruments off this caused a runaway situation with nothing being scanned |
Batches:
| • | Large number of Batch Tags would stop working after a certain point |
Historical Replay:
| • | Batch replay crashes sometimes |
QuickList:
| • | Crash in QuickList when it is initially too short for Strategy Add |
Strategy Controller:
| • | Lockups when Strategy is Closing screens automatically |
| • | Some Strategy Controller Actions could cause an Unclean exit |
Languages:
| • | The Add/Rename Instruments box had a problem in the German Language |
| • | German Archive Dialog fault at end of dialog |
ActiveX:
| • | ActiveX controls work even if ActiveX option not enabled on the dongle |
ModBus:
| • | Modbus can crash sometimes on exit from Runtime with Serial devices. Does not affect TCP/IP |
| • | Modbus Scaling-Of-Numbers (SON) problems fixed |
| • | Entering a lot of TCPIMD driver commands messed up the Driver commands window columns |
| • | Crash with Buffered parameters avoided |
Drivers:
| • | FGH driver cannot open COM ports numbered > 9 |
| • | Crash when defining certain new instruments while Online |
Honeywell HC900:
| • | New HC900 SPP import naming scheme, controlled by a SETTINGS.INI setting, see Help on HC900 import here |
