System information

SIMPL Windows: Fixed problem with Highlighted signals not showing up on Print Preview or printouts.
SIMPL Windows: Fixed problem with not being able to enter a "//" signal on an Analog or Serial Buffer unless there
was a signal already connected to the opposite side.
Fixes/Changes from 2.08.18 to 2.08.19:
SIMPL Windows: For systems that have Out Of The Box Functionality (OOTBF) such as the AES, AADS, AADS-XM
and MPS-100, programming associated with the OOTBF processing can now be hidden via a new option, "Display
OOTBF Programming", on the Options->Preferences->General dialog. This programming, when visible, will appear
as signal names in grey. These signals cannot be deleted, renamed, copied, or replaced.
SIMPL Windows: If a file is in the user's Temp directory and cannot be opened due to Read-Only protections,
SIMPL will now attempt to reset those protections. This is only for files that are created and used by SIMPL
Windows.
SIMPL Windows: Added support of converting "TP GUI Transport font" characters in text assigned to objects
imported from a VTPro-e project. The characters in this font were being converted to part of the signal name and
as such, some signals were getting illegal characters in their names. Also added support to import joins assigned to
Hex Gauge and Clock objects. Note: VTP file import still does not include all joins that may be assigned to an object
but, a more robust import is planned for the future. When objects are imported and signals are created, the basic
structure of the signal name (with deviations based on the actual objects of course) is: page name-Object
type_object text_join number.
SIMPL+: Fixed typo in Template.
Fixes/Changes from 2.08.14 to 2.08.18:
SIMPL Windows: Fixed errors when Replacing Control Systems: When trying to replace by dragging a control
system from the Device Library tree to the Control System picture in the upper right windows, default logic modules
were being added when they shouldn't have been.
Fixed an error in Replace Control System that was causing SIMPL Windows to crash on occasion.
SIMPL Windows: Fixed crash when trying to get Firmware Version on Program and Module Header dialogs if could
not communicate with the device.
SIMPL Windows: Made sure that any Toolbox Session that is opened by a toolbox related task in SIMPL Windows,
is closed at the end of the task such that viewport functions will still operate if requested by Viewport standalone or
other applications that may be using Viewport.
SIMPL Windows: Fixed the flickering of the Detail View when moving or resizing symbol windows. This fix may result
in the re-introduction of the problem where some symbols may 'freeze' up when scrolling the detail view window.
This typically would happen if a symbol is only partially shown and then scrolled out of and then back into partial
view. However, the flickering problem was worse and more persistent.
SIMPL Windows: Fixed a few issues with the Device Support dialog of the Module Header:
If a Device Family and a Device Type was selected and the "Include Standard Commands" check box
appears, selecting "No Selection" for Device Family would not remove the "Include Standard Commands"
checkbox. This is now fixed.
Selecting "No Selection" for Device Type was not being recalled next time the Module Header was edited.
Entering in a value for Device Family, Device Type or Manufacturer was not being recalled the next time the
Module Header was edited.
The option for "Filter Templates by Family" was not being saved the next time the Module Header was edited.
SIMPL Windows: Fixed error in "Convert To Module" where, if the Control System has Out Of The Box Functionality
(OOTBF), the associated OOTBF symbols and signals were still included in the module and could never get
deleted.
SIMPL Windows: Fixed problem with Detail View's GoTo Item (Ctl+G) not going to the correct output items.
SIMPL Windows: Fixed problem with multiple "Synch Signals?" dialogs being displayed if programmer starts SIMPL
Debugger more than once in a SIMPL Windows session.
SIMPL Windows: Help for SIMPL Debugger (by hitting F1) is now available. This will be in Toolbox 1.04.10 or
greater.
SIMPL Windows: Removed the ability to delete the control system from a program. This is due to the complexity of
Control Systems with Out Of The Box Functionality. If a programmer wishes to change Control System, just replace
the Control System if the programmer does not want to lose the logic. Or, create a new program with the new
Control System. The programmer may also go to the File menu and select to Convert the program to a Module.
SIMPL Windows: Added faster signal connection processing for speedier program generation in System Builder
and D3Pro.
SIMPL+: Fixed bug that caused issues entering a [Reference Name] or compiling a project that had a [Reference
Name] parameter previously defined.
SIMPL+: Fixed _SKIP_ bug where _SKIP_[1] would be written. This bug would only occur if both ANALOG and
