System information
Fixes/Changes from 2.03.08 to 2.03.09:
Fixed crash from editing a front panel after a replace control system has been peformed.
Added "Refresh" functionality to the Import Remote System Definition feature. Now, if a .RSD file is selected for
Import, and that same filename has already been imported, the signals on the existing Ethernet Intersystem
Communication symbol will be refreshed appropriately per the user's change/delete options. For deleted signals,
the user has the options to remove signals if they no longer exist in the RSD file or to just leave the signal(s) as
they are in the current program. For changed signals (i.e. if a signal name has changed in the RSD file) the user
has the option to change the signal name on the Ethernet Intercommunication Symbol only, change the signal
name throughout the whole program or to leave the signal as it is in the program.
Fixed problem with failing SIMPL+ compiles activated via the Lighting software.
Viewport: Found and fixed problem where Function keys would stop working if a user pressed certain key
combinations.
Viewport: Added support for E-Control II Licensing.
Fixes/Changes from 2.03.07 to 2.03.08:
Fixed problem in a function used by Lighting software program generation for connecting signals.
Import Remote System Definition (RSD) Fixes:
Improved the dialog that Simpl Windows displays at the beginning of an Import RSD that asks user whether or not
to replace existing devices.
Fixed error that said there was no control system when the control system is a PAC2.
Fixed issues with the error log being empty but reporting there were errors.
Changed the Copy To Compact Flash function to allow copying to a non-bootable (Project) folder on the compact
flash.
Added a check and balance scheme when saving Programs to make sure the correct symbol codes are being
written to the SMW file.
Device Extenders now adhere to User Level. All current Extenders are available in all levels, except for Packet
Transmission which is Expert.
Added "Rebuild All" function to the Project Menu. Selecting this option will start a Rebuild All compile, ensuring that
all Simpl+ modules contained within the program will be compiled. This feature would typically be used when Simpl+
files are copied around from computer to computer (especially if over a network) and file date/timestamps cannot
be relied upon for accuracy as to when that module really was last compiled.
Viewport: New Menu Item in Functions for converting Serial Numbers to Touch Settable ID (TSID) numbers.
Viewport: Fix bug where cancelling a TPS upload while 'Initializing...' would cause control system to hang in
PASSTO mode.
Viewport: Reduced flashing during file transfers to active touchpanels.
Viewport: IP Tables may be set up for TPS panels using the same dialog as for control systems.
Viewport: Updates/Improvements of TSID support.
Viewport: Serial Number Assignment dialog adjusted for barcode reader support.
Viewport: Serial number prefixed with 'Z' are all invalid serial numbers.
Add other CNX-Bxx series button panels. (Library 182 and later)
Add User Interface tab in Configuration Manager to CNX-Bxx panels to allow specification of VTPro-e Project.
Add model for PAC2 as a 2 Series control system (Library 182 and later)
SIMPL+: Added & Fixed SendMail() return codes.
SIMPL+: Force a Rebuild All if the SIMPL+'s .USH file does not exist.
Add CNX-TS model (Library 184 and later).
Resolve issue with replacing a control system with a PAC2 and logic not transferring (Library 184 and later).
Fixes/Changes from 2.03.03 to 2.03.07:
Fixed a crash that can occur when trying to drag a High Voltage Generic relay-controlled device driver on to a C2I-
RY8 card.
Fixed problem with using CmSmplLt.dll (i.e. Lighting Software's access to Simpl Windows functions) on Windows NT
systems.
Added Export/Import Remote System Definition Feature: this feature provides the ability for 2 systems to be aware
of the same signals via an Ethernet Intersystem Communication device. Exporting a Remote System Definition
requires a program to have an Ethernet Intersystem Communication device programmed. When the user selects
and right clicks on an Ethernet Intersystem Communication from the Program Tree, or in the Symbol Detail view,
the context menu will have an option to Export Remote System Def file. Selecting this Export option will cause Simpl
Windows to save the IP ID, IP Address and all the signal information into a specially formatted ".rsd file". This .rsd
file can then be Imported into another system. Programming Note: Don't forget to assign an IP Address to the
