Build 3.1.210

Release date: Oct 30th 2020

 

Fixes and improvements:

 

GDW:

Color Dynamics: When Bar Charts were set to flash using Color Dynamics they could remain flashing until SpecView was restarted.
When horizontal Bar Charts are very small, such that the font for the value wouldn't fit in the bar then the Bar Chart was being shown as an [X]. Now the font size will not prevent the bar from being shown.
Position Dynamics: If a group containing buttons was moved totally off-screen using Position Dynamics, then the buttons remained behind instead of being cleared.
Position Dynamics: If a number was moved completely off the screen then the previous location of the number was still sensitive to clicking.

 

Variables List:

Long strings in Text User Variables when Online could cause a problem with the Variables List.

 

Trend Charts:

If all values were shown (max, min, etc.) EXCEPT the current value, then the cursor values at the top of chart were wrongly positioned.
Trend back-fills could occasionally cause a crash if SpecView was exited very quickly after starting.

 

Recipes:

New feature: Recipe Limit String functionality to restrict the list of Recipe names shown in the Recipe Manager.
If a Recipe was saved with, say, 'Timeout' status on a variable, then it was not correctly handled for 'No Change' and could result in Recipe download errors.
Clicking on a 'No Change' (N/C) recipe item and then clicking 'Close' could result in the variable being assigned a spurious value instead of N/C.

 

Strategy Controller:

Action - Display message box: The message itself wasn't being remembered if the Event or Action was copied within the Strategy Setup box.

 

Passwords:

Passwords 'Start at Level 1' did not always work on a Remote.

 

Drivers:

New drivers and modifications for: Yokogawa Modbus (UP55a); Eurotherm Modbus (3500 program names); DataNab; Anafaze CLS & MLS
OPC: Very long lists of parameters from an OPC Server can take a long time to load, which gave the impression that SpecView had hung, so the OPC Browser box now gives an indication of how long it is likely to take.
Watlow F4T Modbus comms issues resolved.
