Release 03/03/2010 Version 3.02.34
---------------------------------------------------
CPUIRTDB Version 4.024.58
DBEdit Version 3.131.140
DBReport Version 3.820.339
OPClient Version 4.178.640
PCon Version 2.127.245
QuickWatch Version 2.014.26
SysCon Version 1.011.67
TagEdit Version 4.474.625
-- Modified Installation to install Realtime Database
as a unique product. Product is installed during
CPUtilities install. Added an informational
dialog message to the installation indicating
when the RTDB requires to be upgraded with any
post installation configuration instructions.
-- The Sample Project is now packaged as a separate
install. An option is given at the end of setup
to install this project.
-- Added all Product Versions to SysCon About dialog.
-- Added CPUtilities install version number to PCon About
dialog.
-- Modified PCon allowing application to run in "offline"
mode when a successful connection to the Real Time
Database cannot be made to verify the license type.
This allows offline modifications to a given project's
operator interface.
-- Changed copyright message to read datestamp of
installed application object to indicate date that
the program was last modified.
-- Changed DBReport to close application when Close
button is clicked on the Report Selection Dialog.
** Bug Fixes
-- Fixed DBReport bug where orphan header properties
were left in the properties configuration file if
the report name was changed before saving a new
report definition. This would also occur if a new
report was created, save canceled, and another
report was changed and saved.
-- Moved the "keep alive" logic in OPClient from the
physical location poll function to the check for
next poll function which is called each 500
milliseconds. This prevents a false poll thread
failure alarm from occurring if the time interval
to poll a location exceeds the alarm timeout
specified in the registry by Syscon.

Update Thread if a blank message was logged to the
main frame window.
- Fixed PCon bug that would block various threads if
a blank message was logged to the PCon Activity Log.

TagEdit Version 4.472.620
** Bug Fixes
- Fixed OPClient bug where the system tags and
location.file communication properties where not
updated properly if the TestRead registry flag was
not set.
- Fix QuickWatch bug where the total viewed tag count
was not decremented when tags where removed from
the view.

PCon Version 2.124.240
QuickWatch Version 2.11.20
SysCon Version 1.10.52
TagEdit Version 4.472.620
- Added Special Tag Type initially supporting PLC Date
and Time tags. Date and Time tags are used to
synchronize the system time between the PC hosting
OPClient and Field Devices/PLCs that incorporate an
internal clock.
- Added additional text to the Poll and Database Server
Failure dialog explaining the severity of the error
condition.
** Bug Fixes **
- Fixed Timing Problem for polling and database update
intervals that occurred when the system clock on the
PC hosting OPClient was manually set to a previous time.
This issue would also occur when the clock was set back
for Daylight Savings Time.

PCon Version 2.123.238
QuickWatch Version 2.10.18
SysCon Version 1.9.50
TagEdit Version 4.471.616
- Changed Popup Graphic Dialog to modeless allowing up
to 10 open screens.
- Added Radio Control input type to GLG Setpoint
Screens. Refer to the PCon online help for more
information.
- Added GLG resource/tag validation to input field
definition for keyboard dialog edit input field button
type.
- Updated OPClient help file describing additional
security (DCOM) settings required to make remote
connections to a RTDB Server.
** Bug Fixes **
- Fixed bug that prevented an existing input button
definition from being changed on GLG process and
setpoint screen definitions.
- Fixed bug where out of service flags for locations
and database tables could possibly get out of sync with
the project following additions or substractions to
table and location definitions.
- Fixed bug where a numeric constant would be zeroed
if an existing constant tag was modified in the Tag
Editor. Bug introduced in version 4.470.615.

Release 09/05/2008 Version 3.01.10
---------------------------------------------------
CPUIRTDB Version 4.24.58
DBEdit Version 3.128.134
DBReport Version 3.818.332
OPClient Version 4.172.587
PCon Version 2.121.127
QuickWatch Version 2.10.18
SysCon Version 1.9.50
TagEdit Version 4.470.615
- Released Light CPUtilities version
- Added system tags for location.file communication
alarms and DSN.tablename connection alarms.
- Added string data type.
- Applications now remember their Window size and
placement.
- Database tables may be configured to change to out
of service state after a preconfigured number of
connection attempts.
- Database tables may be interactively placed in and
out of service (PCon).
- Icons were added to PCon's status bar indicating
communication, database update, and regular alarm
tag active states. Alarms are now monitored in a
unique thread increasing PCon's processing effeciency.
- Interactive alarm dialog was added to PCon allowing
alarms to be acknowledged providing additional operator
feedback on system exception status.
- 2 timeout registry values were added allowing operator
notification if an OPClient poll or database update node
fails for any reason.
- 1 Time Server name registry value was added allowing
simple network time synchronization between a workstations
on a peer network.
- Each instance of OPClient now sets it's configured tags
to "not connected" status when it is shutdown. This
provides immediate feedback to PCon applications running
on the network that these tags no longer contain valid
data.
** Known Issues **
- When update is installed over a previous version, the
DCOM registration sets the flag to run on the local
computer. If a client workstation is the target of the
upgrade, you must run DComcnfg following the installation
and remove the check from "Run application on this
computer" on the location tab.
** Bug Fixes **
- When multiple tables were configured with even divisable
update intervals, OPClient would not sync updates if a
shorter interval was encountered before a longer. For
example, if table 1 was set to update each minute and
table 2 was set up update each 2 minutes, the update
times stayed in sync if table 2 was encountered first,
but not if table 1 was first. This behaviour has been fixed.
- Local tags were updated even if the transfer tag was out
of service. Local tags are now only updated if the
source tag is in service.
- Fixed bug where column attributes (size and justification)
were not defaulted to correct values when a new field was
added on a test process display.
- Fixed bug where current user values were not initialized
when a setpoint screen was configured without security
enabled. This resulted in an exception being thrown when
the setpoints were saved and the audit trail was updated.
- Fixed bug where the blank IPersistFile name contained
garbage when a new tag file was created. The field
now defaults to blank.opf.
- Old versions of the applications were allowed to open
project configuration files created with later versions
which resulted in project corruption. As of this release,
the applications will display an error if a project file
was created or changed with a newer version of the tool.
