There have been a number of other minor improvements:

 

The Logging tab of Preferences has a setting for the number of decimal places to be logged.

 

The decimal places of individual values used by Log File Reports and by the Line Writer can be specified using CVTSETTINGS.INI

 

Copying and Pasting of objects on a screen (GDW) will preserve their associations with variables as well as their Color Dynamics and Position Dynamics settings.

 

To assist in designing screens (GDWs) intended for use on screens of a different size the Screen Size Guide menu item on the View menu allows the actual screen size (in pixels) to be specified.

 

The Show Screen Size Guide menu item is used to display the guide.

 

There are other menu items to specify the color of the guide, etc.

XXX has been replaced by specifics: N/R (No Response), NPV (Not Present Value), NCA (Not Currently Available), T/O (Timeout)

 

Acknowledge Alarms button/strategy action

 

The menu items on the Setup->Database sub-menu have moved to the Internal Data menu on the Variables List

New Math functions:

<Number / Integer / Enum / Time >

ADD / SUBTRACT / MULTIPLY

<Number / Integer / Enum / Time>

put result in <BOOL>

If the result of the math is 0, then bool will be off, if the result is non-zero, then bool will be on.

This allows an Enumerated Alarm to be 'translated' into On/Off.

Note: The other Math types will all result in Bool being set to Off.
