not saved correctly.
3316 Change Request
Modified the message that is displayed when the project developer clicks Trust
server certificate in the security settings for an OPC UA connection (OPC UA >
Connections > Server Configuration > Security), in order to warn them when the
certificate is self-signed.
4994 Change Request
Implemented the new built-in functions TranslationLookupLoad,
TranslationLookupGet, and TranslationLookupClose, which allow the project
developer to create lookup maps between different languages. For more
information, see the documentation.
4995 Change Request
Improved the ADO.NET database gateway (StADOSvr) to make it possible to specify
a locale (i.e., language and country) for database queries, rather than use the locale
that is specified in the host's system settings.
5685 Change Request
Modified the built-in function CheckESign to take a security access level as an
optional parameter. Previously, the function would validate against level 0, and
level 0 is still the default, but this parameter allows the project developer to specify
any level.
3989 Issue Resolved an issue with Linked Symbols that are configured to use Class tags
imported via tag integration.
4025 Issue Resolved an issue with the built-in function FileWrite, where it did not properly

server.
5092 Issue
Modified the ADO.NET database gateway (StADOSvr) to work even if
Microsoft .NET Framework 4 is not installed on the computer that hosts the
gateway. .NET Framework 4 became a requirement when support for Wonderware
Historian was implemented in a previous release (see item 3423). This modification
ensures that the gateway will continue to work for most database connections, but
if you plan to connect to a Historian database, .NET Framework 4 is still required.
For more information, see the documentation.
5099 Issue
Resolved an issue with the EmbeddedView runtime where it did not show the
window menus (File, Security, Tools) even if it was configured to do so (Project
Settings > Viewer).

Class Tag as its data source, it would show BAD quality for the wrong array
elements.
5616 Issue
Modified the Protection Manager to allow you to select a MAC address when
you change your softkey license. This is necessary because the license's site code
is based on the computer's MAC address, and the computer may have more than
one MAC address if it is connected to a VPN or otherwise using a virtual NIC at the
time that you change your license.
5634 Issue Implemented safeguards to prevent memory overflow errors that sometimes
occurred when using TreeView Control (TreeView.ocx) in a project screen.
5804 Issue
Resolved issue with Remote Management experiencing timeout problems when
downloading projects to remote computers when the Remote Agent is configured
with users and passwords on its Security System
5884 Issue Resolved an issue where the built-in function TagsDBAddTag would not accept new

4680 Issue
Modified the OPC DA/XML task to recognize the data type of items that were not
available for the OPC Server when the OPC DA/XML Client task was launched, but
eventually become available (e.g.: connect the device to the network only after the
OPC DA/XML task was launched). The new algorithm allows the OPC DA/XML Client
to recognize the data type of items that become available during the runtime and,
consequently, be able to write values to such items.
4681 Issue
Improved the performance of the Tag Integration for the RSLogix 5000 family
provider when loading tag names from the L5K file. Moreover, the Tag

section of the project APP file.
3677 Change Request
Modified the Trend task to save the NaN value (i.e., not a number ; equal to
-1.5E40) for strings when the quality is BAD. Previously, the actual string values
were saved even when the quality was BAD.
3704 Change Request
Improved the functions RunGlobalProcedureOnFalse, RunGlobalProcedureOnTrue,
and RunGlobalProcedureOnTrigger so the tag that changed is passed to the
procedure as an argument. For more information, see the documentation for those
functions.
3777 Change Request
Modified the Mobile Access feature to load linked pictures that are located
anywhere in [projectname]\Web. Previously, the Mobile Access feature could load

generate a system error.
3300 Issue
Modified the OPC XML/DA task to execute Asynchronous Read/Write commands
properly when the number of items (rows) in the worksheet is greater than the
Maximum group size configured in the worksheet. Consequently, the message
invalid handle ID will no longer be sent to the Output Window (LogWin) in this
condition.
3301 Issue
Modified the development environment to avoid a crashing error when closing the
development environment while at least one runtime module was still running. The
error would occur only if at least one tag was being monitored in the Database Spy
interface of the development environment.
3302 Issue
Improved the performance of the OPC XML/DA Client task, preventing it from
executing read/write commands for items that failed to the added to the
communication list when starting the task (e.g.: invalid items that do not exist in
the OPC Server).
3303 Issue Modified the Alarm/Event Control screen object to properly acknowledge
alarms generated by the Driver task.

Tag Integration Provider (e.g.: deleted or renamed).
3352 Issue
Modified the graphic interface (runtime) to properly display left-aligned text
configured in the Rectangle's caption property, avoiding it to overlap the object's
border, when the Project > Viewer >Enable Enhanced Graphic option is enabled.
3358 Issue
Increased the maximum Alarm Group supported by the filter interface of the
Alarm/Event control from 255 to 1000. This feature is important when generating
alarms directly from the driver task (through an API), which can exceed the limit of
255 Alarm groups.
3362 Issue Improved the XML schema and import tools for Studio XML Screen files to support
multiple properties in Linked Symbols.
3368 Issue
Modified the Thin Clients to restore communication with tags from the Server after

OPC Server when starting the task if the subscription (Advanced > Read action >
Enable subscription) for the respective worksheet(s) is not enabled.
3400 Issue
Improved the editor (development environment) of the OPC UA worksheets,
keeping the focus on the last selected row after browsing for items from the OPC
Server (instead of selecting the first row of the worksheet automatically).

according to the settings in the XML file.
3444 Issue
Modified the software installer to install and register the VBScript debugging
libraries in the Common Files folder (i.e., in C:\Program Files\Common Files),
separate from the rest of the software, so that other programs may safely link to
them. Previously, the libraries were installed with the rest of the software,
and when the software was uninstalled, other programs that had linked to the
libraries also stopped working.
3448 Issue
Modified the screen editor (development environment) to launch the Object
Properties window instead of de-selecting the respective objects when
double-clicking on the objects.
3451 Issue Improved the Tag Integration for the TwinCAT provider to support different

environment while any runtime task is running (online configuration).
3539 Issue
Modified the DateTime2Clock built-in function to return the correct value, even
when the daylight saving setting is enabled and the optTimeZone parameter is set
to 1 (UTC).
3540 Issue
Modified the GetAlarmInfo built-in function to return the correct value, even if the
RunGlobalProcedureAsyncGetStatus function is executed after calling the
GlobalProcedureAsync built-in function.
3580 Issue
Resolved an issue where the project server used more system resources than it
should when multiple Thin Clients (a.k.a. Secure Viewers) were connected and
viewing project screens that contain Alarm Control objects.

were initiated by a project client (for example, if the function SetPassword was
called on the client).
3658 Issue
Enhanced the screen interface to display scroll bars within the screen automatically
when opening the screen with a smaller size (width and height) than the original
size configured in the project (Screen Attributes). Therefore, the user can scroll
through the whole screen during the runtime.
3659 Issue Modified the Trend Control to display the correct cursor value at any point of the
curve (pen) when the data source is an external database.
3660 Issue Removed the Apply button from the Tag Properties dialog window, since it was
redundant with the Ok button.

disabled.
3737 Issue Enhanced the alarm interface to support comments, even when the alarm was
generated directly by a communication driver.
3740 Issue
Modified the Command animation on the development environment to prevent
the user from closing the Object Properties window while its Configuration dialog
(launched from the Config button on the Object Properties window) is still open,
which could cause unexpected behaviors.
3742 Issue
Modified the graphic interface (Viewer) to display the whole screen when opening
it on a second monitor, in a scenario where more than one monitor is used in
extended desktop mode. This modification prevents the Viewer from not redrawing
portions of the screen, which were displayed as blank (white) rectangles during the
runtime.

sent incorrect messages to the log file (ViewerDump.txt) when it drew screen
objects. See also item 4061.
4059 Issue
Modified the screen editor (development environment) to avoid errors when trying
to insert linked symbols stored in a network path (e.g.:
\\MyPC\Symbols\Mysymbol.sym).
4061 Issue
Resolved an issue with the project viewer (Viewer.exe) where it sometimes
sent incorrect messages to the log file (ViewerDump.txt) when it opened or
closed a screen that contained an Alarm/Event Control object. See also item 4058.
4065 Issue Modified the Web Thin Client to display images on the Smart Message and Button
objects, when properly configured to do so.
4088 Issue
Resolved an issue with NTWebServer where, in some cases, the user could perform
a directory transversal and access files outside the web folder. You should not use
this Web Server for real projects, use IIS instead.
4089 Issue Enhanced security for FTP and SMTP configurations that are saved in the project
file.
4125 Issue
Increased the limit of simultaneous connections supported by the TCP/IP Server
task from 1024 to 32767 simultaneous connections - typically from remote servers
configured with multiple TCP/IP Client worksheets.
4137 Issue
Resolved an issue with Web Thin Client where trying to load linked pictures
sometimes caused errors. The issue was discovered after resolving another issue
with memory leaks in Web Thin Client; see item 3711 in a previous release.
4194 Issue
Resolved an issue with the functions RunGlobalProcedureOnFalse,
RunGlobalProcedureOnTrue, and RunGlobalProcedureOnTrigger where, if the
specified tag's quality or timestamp was changed by a communication driver or
background task, that change was not properly passed as a parameter to the
specified procedure. (There was no issue if only the value of the specified tag was
changed, or if the tag was changed by a screen object or script.) See also item 3704
in a previous release.
4209 Issue Modified the product to recognize Hardkeys manufactured by WiBu when running
the application on Windows Embedded Standard operating system.
4210 Issue Resolved an issue with EmbeddedView where stopping a project sometimes caused
system errors.
4232 Issue Enabled translation feature for the Text Box object.
4249 Issue
Created a new parameter MaximumDatabaseBackupFiles in the [Options] section
of the[ApplicationName].APP file, allowing the user to specify the number of
backup versions (circular buffer) automatically created for the tags database file
(Database\Tagl.txt), so the user can restore previous versions of the tags database
when it is inadvertently deleted or modified.
4253 Issue Disabled the Decimation option from the Trend Control when the X-Axis is
configured as Numeric.
4262 Issue Modified the TCP/IP Client and TCP/IP Server tasks to communicate the correct
timestamp value for tags configured in the TCP/IP Client worksheets.

the Error state, instead of displaying the text #UNDEFINED# during the runtime.
4408 Issue
Modified the product so if a tag is configured in a communication driver sheet to
write values when the tag changes of value, the command is executed by the driver
even when the tag value is modified through an external program linked to the
project through the Tags Database Toolkit .
4448 Issue
Modified the Alarm/Event Control object to prevent it from displaying the message
Please wait a moment... continuously when the Alarm history is set to Database
format and the project is running on Windows Embedded Standard.

ID Type Description
1126 Requirement
Improved the Position animation to allow changes in the object's visibility, from 0%
(transparent) to 100% (opaque). The value may be changed during run time. This
replaces Show on Condition , which only allowed the object to be either hidden or
visible. To reflect these changes, the animation was renamed Visibility/Position. For
more information, see the documentation.
2096 Requirement Introduced an option to create screens and their objects dynamically during the
runtime.
2274 Requirement
Implemented the ability to debug VBScript in most scripting interfaces in the
development environment. These debugging tools are based on the tools in
Microsoft Visual Studio, so if you are experienced with Visual Studio, then these
tools should be familiar to you as well.
2275 Requirement Implemented sorting and filtering in the worksheet editors
2480 Requirement Improved the Linked Picture screen object to include support for Enhanced
Metafiles (EMF).
2481 Requirement Improved the driver toolkit to provide an interface for sending alarm/event
messages.
2498 Requirement
Enhanced the run-time graphics to apply anti-aliasing to shapes, buttons, and
text, and to prevent alias effects when zooming a screen. These enhancements can
be enabled or disabled (Project Settings > Viewer > Enable Enhanced Graphics) as
needed for run-time performance. New projects will have the enhancements
enabled by default; projects upgraded from previous versions will have the
enhancements disabled by default. These enhancements are not supported on
Windows Embedded.
2499 Requirement Implemented tag integration for Allen-Bradley Ethernet devices (ABTCP). See also
items 2519, 2520, 2785.
2519 Requirement Implemented tag integration and import wizard for Koyo devices from
AutomationDirect (KOYO). See also items 2499, 2520, 2785.
2520 Requirement
Implemented tag integration and import wizard
for Productivity3000 Programmable Automation Controllers from AutomationDirect
(PAC3K). See also items 2499, 2519, 2785.
2524 Requirement Implemented a Database API to allow third-party applications to integrate with the
project database.
2555 Requirement Added an import wizard to import screens created in XML format. Please contact
your software vendor for more information on the Screen XML Toolkit.
2589 Requirement Implemented new Tags Database functions to add and remove project tags during
run time, as well as to configure alarms and other properties on project tags.
2617 Requirement
Implemented the option Background screen in the Screen Attributes dialog. When
the option is selected, the screen is not brought to the front when the operator
clicks on it.
2699 Requirement
Improved the Mobile Access (SMA) feature to also show screens that
contain shapes, animations, linked pictures, and simple active objects (e.g., Button,
Text Box, Check Box, Radio Button). Advanced active objects and data objects are
not yet supported. For more information, see the documentation.
2762 Requirement Updated the Remote API Toolkit with the latest runtime updates
2779 Requirement Modified the ISSymbol plug-in for thin clients to be able to resize project screens
independently of the browser window.
2781 Requirement
Implemented the License Server feature, which allows you to set up a license server
on your network that will manage all of the product licenses -- both engineering
and run-time -- for your other computers. Please note that this feature only works
with Wibu's hard keys and CodeMeter software, and that you must purchase the
correct type of licenses. For more information, contact your sales representative or
customer service.
2789 Requirement
Improved the method used to save and retrieve historical data, so that all data is
now saved with a Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) time stamp, and then
implemented several new built-in scripting functions to set, get, and convert the
time (UTC <-> local) during run time. See also items 2607 and 2908.
2814 Requirement Updated support for multi-touch gestures on Windows Embedded Compact 7. See
item 2445 in the previous release.
2926 Requirement Added Chinese Traditional, zh-TW, localization to the product.
3023 Requirement
Added Russian localization of the product, which you may select either when you
install the product or later by using the Language command in the development
environment (View tab > Options group > Language).
3045 Requirement
Improved how the Translation Table feature handles alarm/event messages that
include tags in curly brackets (e.g., ALARM: The current value is {MyTag}! ).
Previously, the value of the tag was retrieved and stored with the
message BEFORE the message was translated, so you would need to provide a
separate translation for each possible value of the tag. Now, the value of the tag
is retrieved AFTER the message is translated, so you only need to provide a
translation for the text other than the tag. For more information, see the
documentation.
3070 Requirement
Modified the ActiveX control ISSymbol.ocx (i.e., the Web Thin Client) so that it can
be used to invoke Javascript from the web page that contains it during run time. To
do this, use the built-in scripting function ExecuteCustomCall to trigger the event
OnCustomCall on the control, and in turn, the event OnCustomCall will invoke the
specified Javascript from the web page. Please note that this feature does not
work in projects running on Windows Embedded. For more information, see the
documentation.
595 Change Request
Improved the Linked Picture screen object to allow you to set a transparent color,
through which the screen background and/or other screen objects placed behind
the picture will be visible. To set the transparent color, either use the tracker tool to
select the color in the picture or specify a color code via tag/expression. If you do
the latter, then you may change the color code -- and therefore the transparent
color -- during run time. See also item 2058.
897 Change Request
Modified the Alarm/Event Control screen object to add an option to disable the
operator's ability to acknowledge an alarm by double-clicking (or double-tapping)
the alarm message. This option may be used, for example, either to force
the operator to click another button to acknowledge the alarm or to prevent alarms
from being acknowledged on thin clients.
2214 Change Request Modified the Tag Integration feature to allow the creation of array tags without the
trailing underscore (e.g., MyTag_1 instead of MyTag_1_).
2276 Change Request Added support for more languages (e.g., Chinese, French, Japanese) on the virtual
keyboard.
2279 Change Request
Implemented an option to automatically convert pasted bitmap images into Linked
Picture objects and then save the images as separate files in the project folder. This
should improve the project's download size and run-time performance. Previously,
when you pasted a bitmap image into a project screen, it was placed as a Bitmap
object and the entire image was embedded in the screen file. See also items 1802,
2062, 2967, 3067.
2294 Change Request
Modified the development environment to notify you when your project
is configured for Windows Embedded target systems and you create a shape with a
Fill Effect. Fill Effects are not supported on Windows Embedded. See also item
2654.
2429 Change Request Improved the Remove Unused Tags tool to include buttons to Check All and
Uncheck All.
2482 Change Request Modified the Alarms task to create a queue of alarm changes, so that they can be
properly reported to third-party applications using the StudioToolkitNet API.
2504 Change Request
Improved alarms and events to allow custom fields. For alarms, the custom fields
can be configured in the Alarm worksheet. For events, the custom fields can be
configured in the SendEvent function. The number of custom fields can be specified
in the project settings (Project Settings > Options > Alarm History and Events). This
feature does not work in projects running on Windows Embedded.
2535 Change Request
Modified the Collaboration feature to properly update the Project Explorer in the
development environment and generally improve the user experience. See also
issue 2600.
2554 Change Request Updated the ControlLogix / RSLogix 5000 tag integration to support L5K files
generated by RSLogix 5000 V20.
2559 Change Request Modified the Tag Integration feature to automatically sync the tag list, so that it
does not need to be reloaded every time you open the Object Finder.
2576 Change Request
Modified the error message that is displayed when an invalid array index is
specified. The message now clearly states the problem is the array index, rather
than saying only that it is an invalid tag.
2598 Change Request Modified the Verify Project command to avoid showing message boxes when
evaluating invalid files. The error messages are now shown in the Output window.
2600 Change Request Modified the Collaboration feature to cache the status of files in source control and
increase overall performance. See also item 2535.
2607 Change Request
Improved the method used to save and retrieve historical data, so that data from
devices in different time zones can be collated on a central server and then
displayed again to thin clients. See also items 2789 and 2908.
2610 Change Request
Improved the Alarm/Event Control screen object to allow specified alarm
messages to blink. This feature does not work in projects running on Windows
Embedded. See also item 2164 in a previous release.
2611 Change Request
Improved the built-in scripting function Open so that when you use it to open a
screen that contains Linked Symbols, you can specify an external mnemonics file
that will be used to set the custom values on those Linked Symbols. This provides
more flexibility than simply declaring the mnemonics within the function. See also
item 2873.
2615 Change Request
Improved the IndTreeView ActiveX control to add the
method SetBackgroundColor, which allows you to set the background color of the
treeview. See also item 2616.
2616 Change Request
Improved the IndTreeView ActiveX control to add the method ChangeIcon,
which allows you to change icons on nodes without reloading the entire treeview.
See also item 2615.
2618 Change Request
Added the built-in scripting function TranslationLoad, which can be used to load
additional translation files and append them to (rather than replace) the current
translation file.
2639 Change Request Corrected the window title(s) for the Import Tool for PanelMate.
2677 Change Request
Improved the Alarm/Event Control screen object to display labels in the Priority
column, instead of the numbers only. The labels may be customized by manually
editing the project file (projectname.APP). For more information, see the
documentation.
2684 Change Request
Modified the status bar (at the bottom of the development environment) to display
the correct line and column numbers when you are working in a VBScript interface.
See also item 2683.
2686 Change Request
Modified the process for downloading project files to a target device so that if an
error occurs while downloading, the error message includes the file path on the
target device. This should make it easier to troubleshoot the error (for example, to
make sure the file path is valid).
2687 Change Request
Changed the default behavior of file caching on thin clients, so that
downloaded project files are checked against the server and then cached. This
should improve run-time performance and prevent thin clients from downloading
unnecessary files. See also item 2570 in a previous release.
2694 Change Request
Modified the project security system to manage both engineering and run-time
users in the same interface. Also, removed ExtUser.dll and ExtUser.exe from
the installation and then removed all references to those files from the
documentation.
2708 Change Request Corrected the name of a file in the installation.
2715 Change Request Improved the Smart Message screen object to support conditional expressions for
each state, rather than only tag values or plain text.
2725 Change Request
Modified the Remote Management tool to display a warning that the contents of
the selected folder on the target device will be deleted before the project files are
downloaded to the device. The warning is displayed only if the selected folder is
not empty, and it is to prevent you from accidentally deleting critical system files on
the target device.
2733 Change Request Updated the application's XML support to use Microsoft XML Core Services
(MSXML) version 6.0. See also item 2821.
2739 Change Request Updated the product installation procedure to use the C# executables instead of
the InstallShield script.
2751 Change Request
In the Remote Management tool, Database Spy, and Remote Logwin, renamed
Network IP to Host so that it is clear you can specify either an IP address or a host
name.
2752 Change Request Improved the alert message that is displayed when you choose to delete a project
tag.
2753 Change Request
Modified the development environment so that the graphics tools (e.g., Shapes,
Active Objects, Data Objects) are disabled while you are setting the tab order of
existing objects in a screen. Previously, the tools remained enabled even though
you could not actually create new objects in that screen.
2760 Change Request Modified the development environment so that if you press Esc while the Object
Properties dialog is open and active, then the dialog is closed.
2764 Change Request
Improved the Rotation animation to support fractions of degrees. More specifically,
the degrees of rotation may now be expressed as a real number, whereas before
they could only be expressed as an integer.
2787 Change Request Improved the OPC UA Client task worksheet, included an option to change the
sampling rate.
2791 Change Request
Modified the OPC DA 2.05 Client task to properly write values with up to
20 decimal places. Previously, the task could only write values with up to 6 decimal
places.
2793 Change Request Improved the tags database to support up to 16,384 classes and up to
4,096 members per class.
2794 Change Request Modifed the Full Integration SDK to not update the Program Settings.ini when
switching projects.
2798 Change Request
Improved the Command animation properties to show indicators on the
actions/tabs that have something configured. This should make it easier to see at a
glance what is configured, without clicking on each tab.
2817 Change Request
Improved the Verify Project command (Home tab > Tools group > Verify) with an
additional option to create integrated tags automatically if they are not present on
the Tags Database.
2823 Change Request
Modified the Database Gateway (StADOSvr) to use an updated time stamp
when saving data to Microsoft SQL Server databases, so that milliseconds do not
need to be stored in a separate column. Please note that this only works with
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 or later; if you are using an earlier version of SQL Server,
then you must edit the program settings to reverse the change. For more
information, see the documentation. See also items 2890, 2913, 2914.
2836 Change Request
Modified the way that product licenses are counted so that you need only one
license for each computer logged onto the project, even if a computer is running
multiple instances of the client software. Previously, you needed a license for each
instance.
2841 Change Request
Reviewed how encryption is used in the product, to try to resolve issues that may
be caused by uninitialized variables (for example, the commonly seen Invalid
tagl.bin error).
2844 Change Request
Modified the OPC UA Client's item browser to make it more responsive when the
OPC UA Server cannot communicate with target devices. Previously, if the OPC
Server could not communicate with the devices, then the OPC UA Client would also
slow down and become unusable. See also items 2844-2849.
2845 Change Request Modified the OPC UA Client's timeout settings to provide more options in case the
OPC UA Server becomes unresponsive. See also items 2844-2849.
2846 Change Request Modified the OPC UA Client's status messages to clearly indicate when it is
communicating properly with the OPC UA Server. See also items 2844-2849.
2847 Change Request
Modified the Reload Trigger option on the OPC UA, OPC .Net, and OPC XML/DA
worksheets to be reset to 0 when the reload is completed. See also items
2844-2849.
2848 Change Request Modified the OPC UA Client to generate a detailed log file, which can be used to
troubleshoot communication with the OPC UA Server. See also items 2844-2849.
2849 Change Request
Modified the OPC UA Client to avoid reading/writing invalid items (i.e., item name
and node ID are empty) on the server. A log message will be displayed when an
invalid item is selected and added to the client worksheet, but future read/write
operations will not generate any more messages. See also items 2678, 2844-2849,
3047.
2857 Change Request Improved the Tag Integration feature to allow you to remove tags directly from the
Shared Database worksheet.
2868 Change Request
Modified the nightly build process to sign the .Net assemblies that are used in the
product, which should ensure the authenticity of the assemblies. For internal use
only.
2873 Change Request Improved the built-in scripting function Open so that some screen attributes can be
set when the screen is opened. See also item 2611.
2888 Change Request Improved the Object Finder so that you may select and import multiple tags from a
tag integration source. Previously, you had to select and import tags one at a time.
2890 Change Request
Resolved an issue with the Database Gateway (StADOSvr) where, if you configured
a database to store historical data and the database was not accessible, then the
resulting timeouts might stack up and cause the project runtime to freeze. See also
items 2823, 2913, 2914.
2894 Change Request
Modified the Alarms task to change the way that it queries for alarms during run
time, which should prevent conflicts with other clients and improve run-time
performance.
2896 Change Request
Modified the data objects (i.e., Alarm/Event, Trend, and Grid) to run their queries in
separate threads on the project server, to make sure that the project viewer will
not freeze while waiting on long query operations.
2954 Change Request
Implemented an option to disable the prioritization of project clients. By default,
project clients are prioritized in the order that they connect to the project server,
with the first typically being the local viewer. The higher priority that a client has,
the more quickly the server will respond to its requests and the better it will
perform during run time. If you disable prioritization, then the server will respond
to all requests in the order that they are received. For more information about this
option, contact Support.
2979 Change Request
Modified the TCP/IP Client worksheet to add the option Send Values On
Connection . When this option is selected and the project is run, the client will
ignore the first tag values that it receives from the server and instead send its own
tag values to the server.
2992 Change Request Added support to parameters of AOIs (Add-On Instrunctions) for RSLogix5000 Tag
Integration
2995 Change Request Update OPC XML/DA to use the API from the OPC Foundation
3015 Change Request
Modified the Min/Max feature of tags to provide more options for how to handle
tag values that are out of range. To change how they are handled, manually edit
your project file (projectname.APP) and adjust the settings WriteOutOfRange and
CapOutOfRange. For more information about these settings and how they work in
combination, see the documentation.
3039 Change Request
Reapproved the built-in scripting function Wait and added it to both the Object
Finder and VBScript Intellisense. The function had been deprecated in a previous
release, but it was not removed from the documentation.
3042 Change Request Added localization for the Full Integration SDK components
3044 Change Request Improved the internal structure of the Tag Integration feature.
3049 Change Request Changed how runtime threads are named in dump files to make it easier to analyze
them.
3067 Change Request
Improved the Linked Picture screen object so that you may link to image files in
sub-folders (e.g., Web\Folder1\MyPicture.jpg). Previously, you could only link to
image files in your project's Web folder. See also items 2279 and 2967.
3082 Change Request
Modified the CloseConnection option to generate text-only log files instead of
complete dump files when the run-time client's connection to the server is closed.
This resolves an issue where generating dump files caused the system to freeze in
certain situations. See also item 2770 in a previous release.
3085 Change Request
Modified the database interface to automatically index alarm and event tables by
event time. Existing historical data (from projects created with previous
versions) cannot be indexed in this way, so if you can afford to do so, then you may
choose to delete the old tables from your database and create new ones. Doing so
will improve run-time performance. For more information, see the documentation.
3088 Change Request Updated the process for generating dump files to recognize the latest versions of
Windows.
3111 Change Request
Improved the Studio Database Gateway (StADOSvr.exe) to include a connection
monitor, which can help with project debugging. The output of the connection
monitor may also be logged to a file.
3119 Change Request
Modified the Trend Control screen object to implement a query timeout, which
should prevent the project client from hanging on an unusually long data source
query. The default timeout period is 120 seconds. You may adjust this by manually
editing your project file (projectname.APP) to change the value of QueryTimeout.
3126 Change Request Enhanced the performance and stability of the VBScript editor, especially when
editing scripts that have more than 1000 lines.
855 Issue Resolved an issue where the Development Environment would close unexpectedly if
you tried to open an invalid Driver worksheet.
1170 Issue Modified debugging tools to properly indicate errors when undeclared variables are
specified in the Graphics Script.
1377 Issue
Resolved an issue with the Closed Polygon screen object where the
object's Background (or Fill) settings would sometimes be lost if the object's Border
(or Line) settings were changed.
1378 Issue
Resolved an issue with the development environment where, if the screen editor
was set to greater than 100% zoom, then you could not select Closed Polygon
screen objects.
1602 Issue Resolved an issue where the SendEmailExt function would create an email with an
invalid To header.
1741 Issue Improved the project security system so that the LDAP offline cache will
properly track recent users according to a first in, first out (FIFO) algorithm.
1745 Issue Modified the project security system to properly protect OPC UA, OPC .Net, OPC
XML/DA, and DDE worksheets.
1802 Issue
Resolved an issue where some BMP images (inserted using the Linked Picture
screen object) were not properly displayed and/or caused system errors. See
also item 2279.
1930 Issue Resolved an issue where if you used the Test Screen command on a screen that
contained a Trend Control screen object, then the system would freeze.
1937 Issue Resolved an issue where the project viewer (Viewer.exe) would not actually start
up in the target language that was selected in the Translation Table.
2002 Issue
Improved the validation of array tags in worksheets. Previously, if you typed
anything other than a period (to indicate a class member; for example,
MyArrayTag[1].classMember) after the array index, then that text was not
validated.
2038 Issue Resolved an issue where SQL commands that took longer than 30 seconds to be
executed would always time out, even if a longer timeout period was configured.
2058 Issue Improved the Linked Picture screen object to allow you to insert images with
transparent backgrounds, such as PNG files. See also item 595.
2062 Issue Resolved an issue where the Background Picture (set in Screen Attributes) would
get distorted in some specific situations. See also item 2279.
2118 Issue
Improved how Alarm, Event, and Trend history are evaluated and removed
(according to the History Life Time setting) when those tasks are configured to save
their history to an external database.
2149 Issue
Modified the OPC XML/DA worksheet and the associated Connection dialog to
correctly show labels in the selected language (View tab > Options group
> Language). See also items 2148 and 2187.
2150 Issue Modified the Service Configuration dialog (Project tab > Settings group > Service) to
correctly show labels in the selected language (View tab > Options group
> Language).
2169 Issue Resolved an issue where dialogs from the Trend Control run-time interface would
not open until you pressed the Alt key on your keyboard.
2283 Issue Resolved an issue that prevented the decompression of historical trend files if the
file path contained a hyphen.
2383 Issue Resolved an issue with TwinCAT tag integration not working properly if the original
PLC project has empty structures.
2505 Issue
Resolved an issue where Linked Symbols could be resized, even if they were not
supposed to be (i.e., the Use linked size option was selected). Now, when a Linked
Symbol is selected in the screen editor, the Size tools (in the Format tab of the
ribbon) are disabled.
2515 Issue Resolved an issue where, if you used the Object Finder to insert a tag in a Main
Driver Sheet, then the worksheet was not saved properly.
2544 Issue Resolved several outstanding issues with the product localizations.
2587 Issue
Modified the project runtime to convert the boolean values returned by .Net
Control methods, so that the values are compatible with the Boolean tags in your
project.
2619 Issue Resolved an issue where the tooltip was not properly updated when the mouse
hovered over individual objects in a group of objects.
2620 Issue Modified the Import command on the Translation Table to properly import a CSV
file that has a dash separator in its file name.
2641 Issue Modified the Import Wizard for PanelMate so that all objects are imported at the
correct size.
2649 Issue Modified the project security system to properly save group settings. This item was
created by the resolution of item 2590 in a previous release.
2653 Issue
Resolved an issue where the built-in scripting functions CreateUser and
SetPassword would return errors if they were called from the Background
Tasks while the Viewer was not running. The functions apparently tried to open
dialogs for more input but could not because the Viewer was not running. The
functions should not try to open dialogs if all of their parameters are provided. See
also item 2972.
2654 Issue
Added a new log message when screens that are created for Windows target
systems and that contain shapes with Fill Effects are opened on Windows
Embedded target systems. Fill Effects are not supported on Windows Embedded.
See also item 2294.
2678 Issue
Resolved an issue with the OPC UA task worksheet where, if you used the write
trigger to write items and one of the items was invalid, then none of the items were
written. Now, only the invalid item is not written. See also items 2849 and 3047.
2683 Issue Modified the status bar (at the bottom of the development environment) to display
the correct line and column numbers when multiple lines are selected in a VBScript
interface. See also item 2684.
2685 Issue Resolved compatibility issues with the Import Wizard for PanelBuilder.
2690 Issue Modified the development environment to properly handle screen objects that are
off screen.
2710 Issue
Resolved an issue with the Import Wizard for PanelMate where it would sometimes
create invalid values for the advanced parameter Alarm Deadband Time. See also
items 2711, 2712, 2713.
2711 Issue Resolved an issue with the Import Wizard for PanelMate where it would create a
standard tag with the wrong name. See also items 2710, 2712, 2713.
2712 Issue
Resolved an issue with the Import Wizard for PanelMate where it would not
correctly import Modbus and Modbus Plus addresses to the Main Driver Sheet. See
also items 2710, 2711, 2713.
2713 Issue
Resolved an issue with the Import Wizard for PanelMate where it would not
correctly import the routing settings for the Modbus Plus (MODPL) driver. See also
items 2710, 2711, 2712.
2719 Issue Resolved an issue with the built-in scripting function RunGlobalProcedureOnServer
where it did not work properly when you passed some specific parameters.
2723 Issue Resolved an issue with the German localization of the Trend - Points configuration
dialog.
2732 Issue Resolved an issue with the Grid Control screen object where sorting the data was
not working properly.
2734 Issue
Resolved an issue where if the development environment window was open on a
secondary display, then the Object Properties dialog would open on the primary
display.
2745 Issue Modifed the Linked Symbols to properly accept negative values in custom
properties.
2750 Issue Corrected errors in the German localization of the product.
2756 Issue Modified the algorithm that detects file changes after you verify your project
(Home tab > Tools group > Verify).
2759 Issue Modified the tag type selection to only display the class as an option if the class has
at least one member.
2792 Issue Modified the way that the Tag Integration feature caches tags, to improve support
for structures (classes) and avoid downloading big files to slow devices.
2800 Issue
Modified the way the runtime handles alarm tag field changes to reduce the
memory usage. A continous change of the field in a short time interval (ms) would
use too much memory and possibly stop the runtime.
2821 Issue Resolved an issue with TwinCAT tag integration generating errors on computers
that did not have Microsoft XML Core Services (MSXML) version 4.0 installed.
Updated the application to use MSXML6. See also item 2733.
2826 Issue Resolved an issue with the Import Wizard for TwinCAT where it did not import
some tags correctly. See item 2790 in a previous release.
2835 Issue Resolved an issue where Linked Pictures were not displayed in their correct
positions on web thin clients.
2842 Issue Resolved an issue with creating and editing class members when the computer did
not have a C: drive.
2843 Issue Modified the Tag Integration feature to properly replace the tags in screen objects
when a tag is renamed on the PLC.
2850 Issue Corrected the description of the system tag DayOfYear.
2851 Issue Modified the TwinCAT tag integration to accept arrays that have a lower bound of
1.
2853 Issue
Modified the Trend Control screen object so that if the graph's Y-axis is configured
to have both a logarithmic scale and a minimum less than or equal to 0 (which is
impossible for a logarithm), then a minimum of 0.00000000000000000000001 will
be used automatically during run time. This will not change any of the object
properties. See also item 2556 in a previous release.
2858 Issue
Resolved an issue with the Security System where if you selected the LDAP option
and specified the server by host name (rather than by IP address), then the server
was sometimes not accessible. See also item 2935.
2860 Issue Modified the TwinCAT tag integration to properly show the indices of arrays of
structures. See also item 2943.
2871 Issue
Resolved an issue with the project security system's Domain (LDAP) mode where, in
some cases, the security level of a previously logged out user might be used to
e-sign an event.
2875 Issue Resolved an issue with the BR_WS and COSYS drivers where if the Send last state
option was selected, then the drivers did not read all of the worksheets.
2879 Issue
Modified the Global Replace, Remove Unused Tags, and Cross Reference
commands to include any tags configured in the Disable Commands box in the
Screen Attributes dialog.
2882 Issue Resolved an issue where the function DBCursorColumnCount returned incorrect
values when performing DBCursorOpenSQL queries on Views.
2884 Issue Resolved an issue with the Virtual Keypad (VK) where it was not being properly
positioned when called from a pop-up screen.
2893 Issue Resolved an issue where VBScript Intellisense would not work in a line of script that
contained a single-quote character (').
2895 Issue
Improved the VBScript interface so that it will ignore the word function when it is
used inside a text string. Normally, function is a VBScript keyword and cannot be
used for anything else.
2898 Issue
Resolved an issue where the function SetPassword did not work properly in
projects running on Windows Embedded, which caused changes to be lost when
the device was restarted.
2899 Issue Resolved an issue where VBScript Intellisense sometimes did not show the
parameters of procedures created in the Main Procedures worksheet.
2908 Issue
Resolved an issue with the new method to save and retrieve historical data, where
the project runtime would sometimes return an error when trying to save to the
database. See also items 2607 and 2789.
2909 Issue Resolved an issue where the Color animation on a screen object was
sometimes lost when the screen object was copied and pasted.
2912 Issue Modified the Tag Integration feature to properly handle write operations in projects
with more than 65,535 tags.
2913 Issue
Modified the Database Gateway (StADOSvr) to create a buffer for error messages.
Previously, the Database Gateway could lock up if it received too many messages.
See also items 2823, 2890, 2914.
2914 Issue
Modified the Database Gateway (StADOSvr) to resolve an issue where the Viewer
froze when trying to query data in a specific sequence. See also items 2823, 2890,
2913.
2916 Issue
Identified an issue with the Trend Control screen object where, if a custom query is
configured and decimation is enabled, then the trend may not show any data. To
avoid this, the data must be properly sorted. For more information, see the
documentation.
2918 Issue
Resolved an issue where some .Net controls could no longer be customized. The
issue was introduced in a previous version; before that, the controls could be
customized as intended.
2919 Issue Resolved an issue with the Trend Control screen object where the Font Size settings
sometimes could not be changed.
2920 Issue
Improved the Smart Message screen object so that you can specify a tag name in
curly brackets (e.g., {MyTag}) for the source file path. This allows you to change the
source file during run time.
2921 Issue Corrected errors in the French localization of the product.
2924 Issue Resolved an issue with the function PrintWindow so that it prints properly in
landscape mode.
2925 Issue Resolved an issue with VBScript execution where if a script was continuously
writing values to a tag, then the runtime might freeze when you tried to stop it.
2927 Issue Modified the VBScript interface to properly validate tags that are created while
editing a script.
2931 Issue
Resolved an issue with the Trend Control screen object where, if the trend graph
was configured with multiple X-axes but not multiple sections to separate the axes,
then any zooming done on the graph could not be canceled.
2935 Issue Resolved an issue with the Security System where security levels sometimes did not
work properly on Web Thin Clients. See also item 2858.
2938 Issue Improved the handling of unregistered .Net controls.
2943 Issue Modified the TwinCAT tag integration to properly communicate with arrays of
structures. See also item 2860.
2947 Issue Resolved an issue where you could not create or configure tags in the Advanced
settings of the Alarm worksheet.
2948 Issue
Resolved an issue where if you selected the option Send Every State (Project
Settings > Communication > Driver and OPC) in a project running on Windows
Embedded, then the project would crash when the maximum buffer size was
exceeded. See also item 2681 in a previous version.
2951 Issue Improved the Alarm History and Events database interface (Project Settings >
Options) to allow a History Life Time up to 32,768 days.
2957 Issue
Modified the Viewer module to prevent false identification of Multi-Touch devices.
This issue could cause crashes on the Viewer startup when running on some
specific embedded devices and on Windows 2008 RC2.
2966 Issue Resolved a memory management issue with the PMControl.ocx control.
2967 Issue
Changed how the Web Thin Client caches images files, to improve run-time
performance. Previously, if the Web Thin Client opened a screen that contained
multiple instances of the same Linked Picture, then it would re-download the image
file for each instance. See also items 2279 and 3067.
2968 Issue
Resolved an issue that occured when calling the built-in scripting function Open
from the VBScript sub-routine Graphics_OnStart. Calling the function caused errors
in some specific situations.
2972 Issue Modified the built-in scripting function CreateUser so that it will not execute in
the Viewer unless it needs to open a dialog for user input. See also item 2653.
2975 Issue
Updated the Studio PDF2 (novaPDF) installer to resolve a watermark issue. The
Studio PDF2 printer is used by certain tasks and functions to print directly to a PDF
file. See also item 3036.
2976 Issue
Improved the way that the project runtime handles write operations from thin
clients. Previously, if a thin client ran a script that continuously wrote tag values
back to the tags database, the frequency of communication would cause CPU usage
to go to 100%.
2980 Issue Resolved an issue with the Import Wizard for PanelMate where it looked for
a certain ActiveX control under the wrong name, causing the import to fail.
2981 Issue Modified the Driver task to prevent possible memory leaks when using
tag properties (e.g., MyTag->AlrStatus) in Driver worksheets.
2982 Issue Modified the Driver task to avoid warnings and errors when two drivers are trying
to write at the same time and the computer has a multi-core processor.
2986 Issue Resolved an issue where a screen's background picture was spontaneously
modified under some specific circumstances.
2989 Issue
Modified the development environment so that it cannot open multiple heavy
screens (i.e., screens that contain large numbers of screen objects) at the same
time. This was a known issue that caused the development environment to slow
down or crash and for which a workaround had been provided; see item 2440 in a
previous release. Now, the check is built into the development environment, so the
workaround no longer applies.
2996 Issue
Modified the ActiveX control ISSymbol to add the method ReadTagExt, which
should be used in Javascript instead of the method ReadTag. The full syntax of the
new method is ISSymbol1.ReadTagExt( tagName ).
2997 Issue Resolved an issue with the built-in scripting function Open not opening the
screens at the specified size.
3014 Issue
Resolved an issue with the Combo Box screen object where if it took a long time to
load its labels from a text file or database, then the tag configured for Position (in
the object properties) would incorrectly receive a value of -1 as a sort of timeout
error.
3022 Issue
Modified the Verify Project command so that it will properly import all tags when
the option Automatically add tag integration used tags is selected. Previously, if a
tag name included a period (.) but the tag was not identified (in the symbol file
exported from the source) as a class, then the tag would not be imported. This was
due to differences in tag syntax between products.
3028 Issue Corrected some labels in the French localization of the product.
3036 Issue
Updated the Studio PDF2 (novaPDF) installer so that it will install properly on
Windows 7 64-bit. The Studio PDF2 printer is used by certain tasks and functions to
print directly to a PDF file. See also item 2975.
3037 Issue Resolved an issue with the built-in scripting function SendMailExt where it did not
return the correct error codes.
3038 Issue Resolved an issue with the built-in scripting function PrintWindow where it would
not obey the Visibility setting on some screen objects.
3041 Issue
Modified the Alarm/Event Control screen object so that when you select an alarm
message in the control and then new alarms are displayed, your selection stays
with the MESSAGE that you clicked rather than the ROW that you clicked. This is to
ensure that Selected tag (Alarm/Event Control > Object Properties > Advanced)
works as documented.
3043 Issue Modified the project security system so that the option Project Settings (Security
System > Groups > Engineering Access) also covers Mobile Access configuration.
3047 Issue Modified the OPC UA Client to avoid browsing invalid items (i.e., item name and
node ID are empty) on the server. See also items 2678 and 2849.
3050 Issue Increased the maximum number of Standard Driver Sheets to 9,999 and
also implemented other changes, to resolve a numbering/grouping conflict
between the Standard Driver Sheets and the Main Driver Sheet.
3051 Issue Resolved an issue where if a project was modified during run time, then screens
would sometimes open with scroll bars.
3054 Issue Modified the security system's logon procedure so that the Virtual Keyboard is
always displayed on devices without physical keyboards.
3058 Issue Improved the performance of the Multi-Touch features on slower devices.
3060 Issue Resolved an issue with memory corruption in the .Net control Indtreeview.ocx. The
control is used in the Business Intelligence Dashboard Template.
3061 Issue Corrected errors in the Spanish localization of the product.
3063 Issue Resolved an issue with opening the same screen more than once so that it will
always be opened in the correct size and position.
3068 Issue Modified the TwinCAT tag integration so that it can properly read strings with
custom lengths.
3069 Issue Modified the soft key licensing method so that it may be used on devices that have
only Wireless Ethernet (WiFi).
3071 Issue Updated the documentation to make it clear that the built-in For...Next loop may
only be used in Math worksheets and not in Command animations.
3075 Issue
Resolved an issue where the built-in scripting functions FileCopy and FindFile were
generating errors when they included the parameter optTimeout. This issue was
resolved before, but only for projects running on Windows; see item 2332 in a
previous release. Now, it has also been resolved for projects running on Windows
Embedded.
3076 Issue Modified the ActiveX control ISSymbol.ocx (i.e., the Web Thin Client) so that it will
work properly when running multiple instances inside the same web browser.
3077 Issue
Modified the Object Properties dialog for the Smart Message screen object so that
the Type and Value type lists will work correctly regardless of which
product localization you use. Previously, the alphabetization of the different
languages caused an issue with how the lists were sorted.
3080 Issue Improved the method for tag validation in order to prevent inescapable Invalid tag
alerts in certain situations.
3083 Issue Modified the Secure Viewer so that it can download properly from HTTPS.
3090 Issue Modified the product uninstaller to properly remove all system files.
3091 Issue Resolved an issue with the Web Thin Client installer (ISSymbolVM.cab) where it
tried to install itself several times.
3101 Issue Resolved issue of Virtual Keyboard not working properly on Web Thin Clients
3114 Issue
Corrected the documentation for the built-in scripting function WinExecIsRunning.
Previously, the documentation had incorrect descriptions of the function's error
codes.
3115 Issue Modified the OPC UA Client task to always increment the value of Read Count (in
the task worksheet) even if a read fails.
3116 Issue
Resolved an issue with the OPC UA Client task worksheet where the read/write
triggers (in the worksheet's Advanced settings) were not disabled even when the
worksheet itself was disabled (using the Disable setting).
3118 Issue
Modified the built-in scripting function Format so that specifying another
decimal mark and/or thousands separator will not conflict with the operating
system's Region and Language settings. See also item 2196 in a previous release.
3120 Issue Resolved an issue where using the Test Screen command would cause system
errors if there was an invalid Global Procedure script in the project.
3121 Issue
Modified the Output Window (LogWin) so that when a tag value is changed by a
Global Procedures script and that change is logged, only the file name of the script
file is included in the log message. Previously, the entire file path of the script file
was included.
3122 Issue Clarified the alert message that is displayed when a linked picture is not supported
in a project running on Windows Embedded.
3131 Issue Resolved an issue with the implementation of OPC UA.
3143 Issue Improved the worksheet editor to reduce the time it takes to delete a row from a
worksheet.
3146 Issue Modified the Studio Database Gateway (StADOSvr.exe) to implement a timeout for
non-query operations. For more information, contact Support.
3147 Issue
Resolved an issue where, if a project was created with an earlier version of the
software and it included imported PanelMate objects, that project might not work
with the latest version of the software. The specific issue was with the
implementation of version support on PMControl.ocx.
3153 Issue Improved the project security system's Distributed mode to make it more robust.
3157 Issue
Identified an issue where the built-in OPC Server (Studio.Scada.OPC) would not
start in EmbeddedView. To resolve this issue, you must download the OPC Core
Components Redistributable from the OPC Foundation website and then
install it on your Windows Embedded Standard device. For more information, see
the documentation.
3161 Issue Resolved an issue with the Multi-Touch functionality where touch did not work
properly with Linked Symbols that include more than one Button object.
3162 Issue
Modified how key events are handled so that only one key may be pressed at a
time. Specifically, the second key's On Down event is not processed until the first
key's On Up event has been processed.
3168 Issue Fixed an issue where the number of drivers was not displayed correctly for some
specific license types
3261 Issue Modified the project security system so that the option Project Settings (Security
System > Groups > Engineering Access) also covers Mobile Access configuration.
3264 Issue
Improved the Smart Message screen object so that you can specify a tag name in
curly brackets (e.g., {MyTag}) for the source file path. This allows you to change the
source file during run time.
InduSoft Web Studio v7.1 + Service Pack 1 (Friday, February 1, 2013)
ID Type Description
2445 Requirement
Added support for multi-touch gestures in project screens. Available gestures
include: zoom/pan for screens; two-handed control (i.e., recognizing two different
touches on the same screen); pre-configured gestures and inertia for the Position,
Resize, and Rotation animations; and configurable touch events for the Command
animation.
2546 Requirement
Added a Spanish localization of the development environment. You can select
Spanish either when you install the program or by using the Language command
(View tab > Options group > Language). See also items 2730 and 2784.
2597 Requirement Revised documentation for Bring to Front and Send to Back commands.
2622 Requirement Improved the OPC XML/DA client to allow you to configure a dead band.
2763 Requirement
Added an option to set the color of the header text in Grid screen objects. To set
the color, manually edit your project's APP file and change the GridHeaderTextColor
setting. You must specify the color in hexadecimal format -- for example, FF0000 is
red. The setting is empty by default, which means the header text is the same color
as the body text.
2804 Requirement Verified that KBDBlock.dll, which is used by the project security system, works on
Windows 8.
2510 Change Request Improved the speed of downloading project files to target stations running Remote
Agent (CEServer.exe) version 7.5. See also items 2539 and 2634.
2536 Change Request Modified the behavior of the OPC UA Server Configuration dialog to avoid showing
unnecessary or confusing messages to the user.
2549 Change Request Updated the demo project (PC Demo) to showcase the new features in this version
and to resolve outstanding issues from previous versions.
2553 Change Request
Improved the Alarm worksheet to accept tag references (i.e., {Tag}) in the Selection
column of the worksheet. Please note that the tag name is limited to five
characters, because the Selection field is limited to seven characters and two of
those are used by the curly brackets ({}).
2556 Change Request Improved the Trend Control screen object to show logarithmic grid lines when the
Y-axis is configured for logarithmic scale.
2563 Change Request
Resolved an issue where a tag configured in an OPC worksheet would not scan if it
was set to scan when used in a screen and the only place it was used in a screen
was in a Grid object.
2580 Change Request
Resolved an issue with the pre-made Meter symbols, in the Symbols library, where
the symbol captions (defined by #Label) were not translated by the Translation
Table.
2590 Change Request Modified the thin client solution to run faster on network environments with high
latency.
2643 Change Request Improved the alignment of numeric displays and numeric entries in projects
imported with the Import Tool for PanelMate.
2652 Change Request Resolved an issue where the SendEmail and SendEmailExt functions sent emails
with time stamps that were not properly adjusted for Daylight Saving Time (DST).
2669 Change Request Updated the Web Thin Client and Secure Viewer with a new signed certificate.
2703 Change Request Modified the ISSymbol control to log the tag name in the Viewer log file when the
tag is read synchronously.
2704 Change Request
Added an option to make all screen objects with E-sign clickable, regardless of the
user's privileges. The E-sign is recorded as normal when the user clicks the object,
but the object does not actually perform its function unless the user has sufficient
privileges. This makes it possible log all of the user's clicks without changing either
the user's privileges or the objects' security levels. To select this option, manually
edit your project file (projectname.APP) and change the
DisableGrayOutForESignature setting.
2729 Change Request Resolved an issue with the OPC UA and OPC XML/DA clients where the read and
write counters would show incorrect counts when using triggers.
2749 Change Request
Added an option to load tag values asychronously in the While... sub-routines in the
Graphics Script and Screen Scripts. To select this option, manually edit your
project's APP file and change the LoadOnWhileScriptTagsAsynchronously setting. By
default, tag values are loaded sychronously, but that decreases
run-time performance in some projects.
2769 Change Request
Resolved an issue with the OPC UA client where the client sometimes forced the
server to read values from connected devices, which could cause problems if the
server was busy communicating with modems.
2770 Change Request
Added an option to create a dump file every time the run-time client's connection
to the server is closed. To select this option, manually edit your project's APP file
and change the CloseConnection setting. For more information about what the
dump file contains and where it is saved, see the documentation.
1667 Issue
Resolved an issue where, if a Trend worksheet was configured to compress its
history files, then the resulting compressed files (*.HSZ, as opposed to *.HST for
uncompressed) might not be deleted after the specified lifetime.
2035 Issue Modified the built-in function RunGlobalProcedureOnServer to give an error if it is
called within a procedure that was itself triggered by RunGlobalProcedureOnServer.
This is to prevent a possible memory leak caused by nested or recursive function
calls.
2151 Issue
Resolved an issue where writing a value to the DisplayValue tag field (i.e.,
tagname->DisplayValue) on a thin client would incorrectly change the actual tag
value on the server. The issue was caused by a conflict between the units
configured on the thin client and the units configured on the server -- for example,
°F on the thin client versus °C on the server.
2364 Issue Resolved an issue where the Cancel Zoom command on the Trend Control screen
object did not work properly when using the horizontal zoom.
2440 Issue
Added a note to the documentation about when and how to edit the Windows
Registry to increase the limit on GDI Objects. It might be necessary to increase the
limit if opening heavy project screens (i.e., screens with many complex Linked
Symbols) causes the development environment to slow down or crash.
2507 Issue
Resolved an issue where the HST2TXT function would sometimes abort and return
an error if it could not find the first history file for the specified period. Now, the
function will proceed with the remaining history files that it can find.
2511 Issue Resolved an issue when using Tag Integration arrays with the Combo-Box screen
object.
2528 Issue
Improved the Database/ERP functions to support SQL queries more than 2048
characters long. (Such queries are typically formed by concatenating multiple string
tags.) Also, improved the Database worksheet to support up to 2048 columns (i.e.,
up to 2048 rows per worksheet).
2539 Issue
Resolved an issue where, if you used the Remote Management tool to install
system files on a target station running Windows Embedded, then some of the
files might not install or register correctly. See also items 2510, 2634, and 2667.
2550 Issue
Resolved an issue where one instance of Secure Viewer might time out while
communicating with the Server and cause the Server to stop responding to other
instances of Secure Viewer.
2557 Issue Resolved an issue with the Trend Control screen object where auto-scaling
sometimes did not work properly if SPC was not also enabled.
2558 Issue Resolved an issue with TwinCAT tag integration where arrays were not
communicated properly.
2560 Issue
Improved data communication in general between the Secure Viewer client and the
project runtime server. This was initially to resolve an issue where, if an operator
using Secure Viewer repeatedly clicked/tapped a button on screen, then Secure
Viewer might hang momentarily and stop sending tag values to the server.
2566 Issue
Resolved an issue with the DB/ERP feature where exectuing the INSERT function
(using either the Database worksheet or the DBInsert function) with a large amount
of data would cause the Viewer to hang momentarily.
2569 Issue Improved communication between the Viewer and the Server to prevent keyboard
lag on screens containing certain objects.
2571 Issue Resolved an issue where OPC XML/DA would sometimes prevent the project
runtime from stopping quickly.
2572 Issue
Resolved an issue with Web Thin Clients where the Timeout for switching stations
setting (Project Settings > Web > Advanced) was not being honored in certain
situations. For example, if the Web Thin Client was executing DB/ERP functions and
then lost its connection to the primary data server, it might hang for up to 60
seconds while it tried to finish executing the functions rather than switch to the
secondary data server after the specified timeout.
2573 Issue Resolved an issue where the Viewer would not work properly with project screens
containing dashed lines with weight greater than 1.
2574 Issue
Resolved an issue where the Thin Clients folder (on the Graphics tab of the Project
Explorer) was not displayed when the language of the development environment
was set to German.
2579 Issue
Resolved an issue with the Alarm/Event Control object where, if the object's Type
(in the Object Properties) was set to Alarm History and History Format (Project
Settings > Options) was set to either Proprietary or Binary, then the types of alarms
(e.g., HiHi, Hi, Lo, LoLo) were not included in the history file.
2583 Issue Improved line scrolling and cursor movement in the VBScript editor.
2594 Issue
Resolved an issue with Linked Symbols on Windows Embedded where, if a symbol
contained more than one image, then only the first image was drawn during project
run time.
2596 Issue
Improved the German localization of the development environment. You can select
German either when you install the software or by using the Language command
(View tab > Options group > Language).
2602 Issue Improved the RSLogix tag integration, especially when using L5K files.
2603 Issue
Resolved an issue with RSLogix tag integration where, if the leading part of the tag
name matched the data source name, then the Object Browser did not allow you to
insert an array index when configuring a tag/expression.
2604 Issue Resolved an issue with TwinCAT tag integration where long class and member
names might cause instability problem.
2605 Issue Resolved an issue with the Trend Control object where extracting compressed
history files sometimes caused the program to crash.
2606 Issue Improved the drawing of Button objects with images and transparencies on
Windows Embedded.
2608 Issue Modified the OPC XML/DA client to fail more gracefully if its connection to the OPC
server times out.
2621 Issue Resolved an issue with the Full Integration SDK where it would sometimes open the
Security System configuration wizard even after project security had been
configured. (Normally, the wizard is opened only the first time you need to
configure security for a project. Every time thereafter, you should be taken directly
to the security settings.)
2625 Issue Resolved an issue with the Event Logger where it was not properly logging Security
System messages.
2634 Issue Improved Remote Agent (CEServer.exe) to maintain compatibility with older
versions of the development application. See also items 2510 and 2539.
2637 Issue Resolved an issue with the Text Box screen object where it might become invisible
when duplicated.
2651 Issue
Resolved an issue with the project security system where it would send multiple
Logoff messages (recorded in the Events database) whenever the user started or
stopped the project runtime.
2666 Issue Resolved an issue with the OPC UA client where you could not write negative values
to REAL-type items.
2667 Issue Resolved an issue with Mobile Access Tabular (SMAServer.exe) on Windows
Embedded where it would not run in certain situations. See also item 2539.
2672 Issue Resolved an issue with the Text Box screen object where sometimes, under very
specific conditions, the entered value would not get written to the associated tag.
2681 Issue
Implemented a limit on the size of the buffer that holds tag value changes waiting
to be sent when the Driver or OPC Client task is executed. For more information,
see the description of Send every state (Project Settings > Communication > Driver
and OPC). To adjust the buffer size, manually edit your project's APP file and change
the DriverAndOpcBufferSize setting.
2693 Issue
Resolved an issue with the TCP/IP Server task where the status window (which can
be accessed by right-clicking the TCP/IP Server icon in the Windows notification
area) did not properly show the names of connected users.
2698 Issue
Resolved an issue with the OPC XML/DA Client where, if the number of items
configured on the client worksheet was greater than the Maximum Group Size for
writing, then the write failed.
2701 Issue Corrected a misspelling in the tooltip description of the Save All command in the
application menu.
2706 Issue Resolved an issue with the Viewer module where it might become unstable when
the Security System logged some specific error messages.
2718 Issue Resolved an issue with the OPC XML/DA client where it did not properly display all
of the available servers in the Host Name list in the Server Connection dialog.
2720 Issue
Resolved an issue with the Translation Table where, if the development
environment was set to the German localization, then the Translation Table
would format dates as TMJ (Tag, Monat, Jahr) instead of DMY (Date, Month, Year).
This could cause problems in other parts of the program.
2724 Issue Modified the layout of the Driver Settings dialog to make room for labels written in
other languages, such as German.
2728 Issue
Resolved an issue with the OPC XML/DA client where Read Status and Write Status
seemed to always have values of 1, regardless of the actual state of the client. Now,
Read Status and Write Status are properly updated to show the results of the last
read and write actions.
2741 Issue
Resolved an issue with the Grid screen object where it would automatically convert
ANSI text files to Unicode if the user edited any cell in the grid. Now, text files are
always saved in the same format in which they were opened.
2772 Issue Resolved an issue where the X-Ref command was not finding the tags configured in
OPC XML/DA worksheets.
2773 Issue Resolved an issue with the OPC XML/DA where at least one read operation was
required before write operations would work. See also item 2786.
2776 Issue
Resolved an issue with the Web Thin Client where, if it lost its connection to the
TCP/IP Server and then tried to reconnect, it would sometimes start sending
requests before it had finished initializing and caused the TCP/IP Server to become
unstable.
2784 Issue Corrected various errors in the Spanish localization of the development
environment. See also item 2546.
2786 Issue
Resolved an issue with the OPC XML/DA client where, if the client used triggers for
communication and became disconnected from the server, then it might not be
able to reconnect. See also item 2773.
2790 Issue Resolved an issue with the TwinCAT Import Wizard where it did not correctly
import nested structures (i.e., classes whose members are also classes).
2801 Issue Resolved an issue with the Viewer module where, on some specific computers, it
would lock if the user pressed ALT+TAB or F10.
2815 Issue Resolved a buffer overflow issue in NTWebServer.
2828 Issue Resolved an issue with the Virtual Keyboard running in CEView, where the keys did
not scale correctly when the Virtual Keyboard window was resized.

Embedded Standard.
2292 Requirement Added the GetDocumentDescription function to the Full Integration SDK. This
function returns the description of a specified document.
2321 Requirement
Updated memory allocation and VBScript handling to improve runtime
performance in the project viewer (both Viewer.exe and ISSymbol.ocx). Also,
introduced the following: the GetPermormanceMetric function, which can return a
wide selection of performance metrics during runtime; the Performance Control
settings (in Project Settings > Options), to control memory allocation; and the
Performance Optimization settings in the screen attributes, to control how a
specific screen is handled in memory.
2335 Requirement Improved the OPC UA, OPC .Net, and OPC XML/DA modules to support reading
from and writing to individual bits on OPC items.
2347 Requirement
Implemented an all-new, graphics-rich Mobile Access feature for accessing runtime

2084 Change Request
Modified the LogOn window to display as a modal dialog box rather than a
standard pop-up window, so that it will stay on top of all other runtime windows
until the user logs on.
2085 Change Request
Resolved an issue where the user could right-click an object in the screen editor
and then accidentally move it. Right-clicking an object should only open the
shortcut menu for that object.
2098 Change Request
Removed the Auto Translate button from the Translation Table worksheet, because
Google has made the Google Translate API a paid, limited service. Also, updated the
documentation with alternate instructions for using the Google Translate website.
2196 Change Request Improved the Format function to allow you to specify the thousands and decimal
mark separators. This provides better support for non-English languages.
2202 Change Request Updated the OPC UA Client to use the latest stack from the OPC Foundation.

management easier.
2211 Change Request Improved the OPC UA Client item browser to start from the current node path and
to show the data types of selected items.
2215 Change Request
Resolved an issue with the Scheduler task where an event trigged by a change in a
tag bit field (e.g., TagA->B1) was not properly executed when the whole value of
the tag changed.
2224 Change Request Improved the ISSymbol plug-in for Internet Explorer to accept the Open function's
optional parameters specifying screen size and position. Previously, the ISSymbol
plug-in only accepted the screen name. See also item 2225.
2225 Change Request

run-time performance on Windows Embedded Compact devices.
2250 Change Request
Resolved an issue where the Numeric Input symbols from the symbol library did
not correctly accept numbers that were entered with a comma as the decimal mark
(e.g., 3,12 ). This was a problem for non-English languages.
2255 Change Request
Added an option to update alarm messages configured with tags in curly brackets
({}) only when the alarm becomes active. This prevents the alarm from having
different messages for Active, Ack and Normalized. The option is controlled by the
AlwaysUpdateMessage setting in your project file (projectname.APP).
2259 Change Request
Implemented the ability to log changes in the project security system. This is for
troubleshooting purposes only, and it should only be done under the guidance of
Technical Support.
2268 Change Request
Improved the Tag Integration feature so that if you change the device name (e.g.,
PLC1 to PLCX ), the change is applied immediately rather than the next time you
verify your project. Please note, however, there is now a brief wait while the
change is applied.
2271 Change Request
Implemented drag-and-drop copying of text in and between project worksheets, as
well as in Object Properties dialogs. To copy text from one location to another:
press Ctrl, click the text, and then drag it to the desired location. Please note the
text is only copied; it is not cut from its original location. Also, the text is validated
when you drop it, to make sure it is formatted correctly for where you drop it, and
if you use the text as a tag name, then it is checked to see if the tag exists.
2273 Change Request
Modified the Configuration dialog (Button/Command object > Object Properties >
Config) to be larger and resizable. Also, if you resize it, then the new size will be
saved and used for all Configuration dialogs, not just for that specific object.
2286 Change Request Updated the PanelMate Import Wizard to improve compatibility with PanelMate
Power Pro.
2290 Change Request Increased the maximum number of rows on the Translation Table worksheet from
4,096 to 100,000.
2293 Change Request Improved the performance of the Verify Application command, especially in
projects with large tag databases.
2295 Change Request Implemented the capability for the DBCursorOpenSQL and DBExecute functions to
execute SQL statements with more than 1024 characters. The functionality requires
breaking the SQL statement into fragments, storing those fragments in String tags,
and then using tag pointers to reference those tags. Example:
DBOpenCursorSQL( MyConn , {Tag[1]} {Tag[2]} {Tag[3]} {Tag[4]} ). For more
information, see the documentation for the DBCursorOpenSQL and DBExecute
functions.
2333 Change Request Modified the default buttons for the Remote Management and Add/Remove
Drivers dialogs.

Up event when the user drags the cursor out of the button area) selected by
default.
2366 Change Request
Updated the CoDeSys Tag Integration feature and the COSYS communication driver
to use CoDeSys PLCHandler 3.5.0.0. Added support for using different ports (other
than the default port 1217) with CoDeSys 3.x. And changed the way tags are
imported when using more than one tag integration source of the same type, in
order to improve performance.
2377 Change Request Optimized the internal buffering to improve TCP/IP communication performance.
See also item 2378.
2378 Change Request Improved the performance of the TCP/IP Server module. See also item 2377.
2398 Change Request
Added a new setting to hide languages from the Translation Table worksheet
instead of deleting them completely. If this setting is enabled, then when you select
a language and click Delete, the language is archived in the project file but it is not
shown in the worksheet. Furthermore, if you try to add the language to the
worksheet again, then the archived version is retrieved. To enable this, edit the
HideTranslateOnDelete setting in Program Settings.INI.
2400 Change Request Modified the runtime to run the Fluke DAQ application
2402 Change Request Removed the Japanese localization of the development enviroment (View tab >
Language).
2408 Change Request
Changed the behavior of the SplashWndTime setting in Program Settings.ini so that
when it is set to 0, the splash window is not displayed when the development
application is run. Previously, when SplashWndTime was set to 0, the splash
window would never be closed.
2430 Change Request
Added the bIgnoreAuxWindows parameter to the ConvertResolution function of
the Full Integration SDK. This parameter, when set TRUE, ignores a window's title
bar, menu bar, and border when converting the window's screen resolution.
2435 Change Request Created a new .Net API to allow third-party applications to retrieve alarm and trend
information from a project during runtime.
2471 Change Request Updated License Agreement

871 Issue Resize Dynamic Property not working properly on Open Polygons [WORKAROUND]:
If you need to use resize try using other shapes or pictures
1634 Issue Right-click does not work correctly when objects are grouped and Execute only
topmost object commands is enabled [WORKAROUND]: Ungroup the objects
2033 Issue
CEServer for EmbeddedView v7.0 does not properly handle when there is a MAC ID in the
Registry [WORKAROUND]: The workaround is to manually clear the following registry key:
This is the Registry Key:
SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\Class\\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002bE10318}
2134 Issue
Validation of the Custom Resolution fields happen when creating new projects even
if you have selected one of the pre-defined resolutions [WORKAROUND]: Change
the resolution back to Custom and write a value between 240 and 10000 on both
fields. Then, choose one of the pre-defined resolutions on the Combo box
2501 Issue Linked pictures do not work on the Windows Embeeded runtime [WORKAROUND]:
Add the files im31*.* and the file imgman32.dll to the product BIN folder.
2526 Issue
Combo-Box connected to Database does not work well if the screen has the option
Hide screen instead of closing it checked [WORKAROUND]: Load the database
information on an array tag and place the array tag on the Combo-Box
2534 Issue The Mobile Access legend is not properly redrawn on some specific conditions
[WORKAROUND]: Toggle the cursor to for the legend redraw
4821 Issue
If you modify a tag field that applies to the entire array Mobile Access will not
synchronize the value to all the array elements [WORKAROUND]: Because the field
has the same value for all indexes, you should use one index for all the locations
where you need the field.

InduSoft Web Studio v6.1 + Service Pack 5 (Thursday,
January 15, 2009)
ID Type Description
ID Type Description
1141 Requirement Added hardkey license support for CEView.
1275 Requirement Updated the software to ensure full compatibility with Microsoft
Windows 7 (both 32-bits and 64-bits).
1278 Requirement
Improved CEView to run on Windows CE devices that do not support
DCOM. Only the OPC DA interface is still not supported, because it
specifically requires DCOM.
1387 Requirement
Added the entry "SecureViewerWatchDogTag" to the application file
(application_name.app). This instructs the Secure Viewer to watch a
specified tag (by default, the system tag ServerTime_), and if the tag
value does not change before the timeout is reached -- indicating that
the Server has failed or the Secure Viewer has otherwise lost its
connection to the Server -- then the Secure Viewer automatically
switches to the designated backup Server. The application file entry can
be edited to specify a different tag.
1389 Requirement Added "Disable Commands" option to the screen attributes, to allow
programmatic disabling of all user interaction in a specific screen.
955 Change Request
Modified the Secure Viewer to be able to run remotely, with
independent tag values and security, even when running on the same
computer as the Server (i.e. Studio Manager). This can be enabled by
selecting the option "Force remote behavior" in the Secure Viewer
Configuration utility (ViewerCfg.exe).
1022 Change Request
Introduced the SecureViewerReload function (from the Built-in Scripting
Language) to reload the Secure Viewer with a different configuration file
during runtime.
1085 Change Request
Fixed an issue where the operator could not use Remote Desktop Client
(RDC) to access the software running on another station. The issue was
introduced in a previous release, when the hardkey licensing mechanism
was modified to prevent mulitple simultaneous accesses of the same
hardkey.
1108 Change Request
Improved the external databases interface to provide more informative
log messages, especially when the maximum number of database
connections is reached.
1190 Change Request Modified the Application Tags database to support up to 65488 rows.
1216 Change Request
Improved the external database interface to support SQL CE 3.0 and 3.5.
Please see the documentation for information on how to configure these
database connections.
ID Type Description
1259 Change Request Implemented UNICODE capabilities when sending alarm e-mails or
sending e-mails using the SendEMailExt function call.
1311 Change Request
Improved the OPC Server module to automatically re-register itself
whenever it is started, so that it always runs with the correct DCOM
credentials.
1360 Change Request Updated the software to ensure full compatibility with Microsoft
Windows 7 (both 32-bits and 64-bits).
1384 Change Request Improved the database interface to support the latest .Net connector
for MySQL.
1388 Change Request
Changed the layout of the Trend Control object to make it easier to
select pens during runtime. This change affects Windows PC clients only,
not Windows CE clients.
1392 Change Request Modified the external databases interface to refresh hostname every
time a new connection is made.
1407 Change Request Modified CEServer and the Support Information dialog to indicate the
correct operating system version for Windows 7 and Windows 2008.
1418 Change Request Improved the email interface to allow custom port numbers for SMTP
and POP3 servers.
664 Issue
Fixed an issue where, on Windows 64-bit operating systems, the
operator could use keyboard shortcuts to switch tasks even when the
security settings -- specifically "Task Switch Enabled" and "Disable Task
Manager" -- were configured to prevent it. See also items 1083 and
1397.
712 Issue Updated the novaPDF printer utility to work correctly on Windows 64-bit
operating systems and Windows XP Embedded devices.
836 Issue
Modified expression parsers to properly indicate an error when an
expression uses incorrect syntax, such as "(Function)" instead of
"Function()".
917 Issue
Modified the Trend Control object to handle floating point values in the
"Axes > Time" field when Period Type is set to "Time Before Now". Also,
the object will now update the value of the tag configured in the "Axes >
Time" field according to user input during runtime (e.g. when the
object's X-axis scroll bar is used to change the time period being
displayed).
922 Issue Fixed an issue that prevented the Service created by the "Service
ID Type Description
Configuration" utility (Tools > Service Configuration) from starting
automatically when the computer boots. Also, the name of the Service
will now show the full product name instead of only the company name.
926 Issue
Modified the "Service Configuration" utility to run as Administrator on
Windows Vista, even when the user does not explicitly choose to run it
as Administrator.
928 Issue Fixed an issue where, on Windows Vista, new application projects would
sometimes be saved in locations other than the user's Documents folder.

application screen is larger than the size of the Viewer window.
954 Issue Fixed an issue that caused the External Databases interface to insert a
NULL value for Boolean tags, instead of the correct value of 0 or 1.
961 Issue Modified Event logging to save the User Name with the Event.
964 Issue Updated the context-sensitive help to include new items in the user
interface.
973 Issue Modified the algorithm of the Global Replace feature to properly replace
properties from Linked Symbols.
980 Issue
Fixed an error that occurred when an application project contained the
maximum number of tags allowed by the program license and then the
user tried to change the properties of a tag.

will result in incompatibility with the proprietary history files created
previously by the same application.
608 Change Request
It was created a new parameter called "SendEveryState" (under the
section [ISSymbol]) for the <ApplicationName>.APP file. When this
parameter is set with the value 0 (default), ISSymbol (Viewer, Secure
Viewer, or Web Thin Client) sends every state (tag values) to the Server
only for tags that are configured in the Driver or OPC Client worksheet,
as long as the option "Driver and OPC" from "Project --> Settings -->
Communication" is set to "Send Every State". When this parameter is set
with the value 1, ISSymbol (Viewer, Secure Viewer, or Web Thin Client)
sends every state (tag values) to the Server for all tags.
614 Change Request

The project (<ApplicationName>.APP file) can be configured to
download external ActiveX controls and register them automatically on
the Thin Client station. This algorithm was modified to show an error
message if, after downloading and installing the control, we don't find it
in the registry (probably because the user specified a wrong CLSID). Also
modified to download the control using relative path (see Technical
Reference manual for details)
652 Change Request Changed the TCP Client task to support IP:PORT in the "Server IP
Address" field.
654 Change Request

Database to avoid instability issues on the current architecture.
617 Issue
The graphic module was modified to guarantee that the values for tag
fields are properly retrieved, even when using indirect tags
(@TagName->TagFieldName) to access the tag field value.
618 Issue
Modified the Grid object to avoid errors when opening a screen with a
Grid object (Data Source = Class Tag) where the same member of the
class tag was configured in more than one column of the Grid object.
The error would occur only if the Grid object was configured in the
startup screen.
623 Issue

Modified algorithm for Print Preview to prevent problems when using
the system close button (upper right x) to close the Print Preview
window.
758 Issue
Modified VBScript compilation to properly handle pointers to integers.
The current algorithm was causing the assignment
@MyIntegerPointer=1 to be handled as @MyIntegerPointer=True and as
a result the integer tag being pointed to would receive -1.
759 Issue
The following tag fields were modified to assume the value 1 when
writing any value different from 0 to them: “Ack”, “AlrDisable”, and
“Unack”.
764 Issue
Fixed problem with Trend Control when saving the Min/Max values for
pens that have not been added to the trend run-time. The trend was
saving the Min/Max as 0 for these pens and if the user inserted them
after loading the configuration (which happens when you close and
open a trend screen) the pen would be inserted with Min/Max of 0.
767 Issue The behavior of the State field used to filter messages from the
