/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// RTMC Pro 4.1 July 2013 Known Issues 1. RTMC will not function properly if the TeeChart control is newer than: TeeChart2011.0.0.5ActiveX.exe January 12, 2012 Build 2011.0.0.5 File size - 30.86 MB Therefore, if you install another application that overwrites this control with a newer version, you will see issues in RTMC. Re-installing RTMC Pro will fix th e problem. Enhancements 1. Added menu options to allow the user to export data in the table or clear th e data out of the table. The export data feature pops up a new window with the r aw values. The user can then select and copy the data, save the file, or print t he file. 2. Changed loading projects in Web Server so that each tab controls whether or not it is ready to be viewed instead of all tabs needing to be ready before disp laying any.

3. Added a flag to tabs with active alarms on them. 4. Added support for Unicode. 5. Added support for IPv6 addresses. 6. Added the ability to change fonts for tables, header and contents indivudall y. 7. Added backed and veered direction option to the compass. 8. Added alarm email profiles, so you only have to enter email information once , and then share it across all alarms. These profiles can be changed dynamically at run-time as well. 9. Added the ability to export snapshots of screens and select components rathe r than one or the other. 10. SMTP update to support longer messages. Also added UTF-8 support for SMTP. 11. Added a feature, to RTMC Pro and Reports, to allow the user to set the prec ision to each field within the Table Display. 12. Added a feature to allow copying an entire screen at a time. 13. Implemented a ReportOffset() function for use with statistical functions in a report. 14. Added a feature that the user can now change which columns are displayed at in a table runtime by right clicking on the table. 15. Changed the max alarm log file count to 9999. 16. Added the ability to customize charts in runtime. 17. Added remote alarm acknowledgement for alarms in the CSI Web Server. 18. Added alarm logs to CSI Web Server. 19. Added alarm events to CSI Web Server. 20. Added an expression builder. 21. Added the functions AvgSpa, MinSpa, and MaxSpa to the expressions engine. 22. Removed size limitations on tracker code size in Web Publisher. 23. When browsing for data that needs to be read/write, the R icon turns red to indicate it is a read only value. 24. Added a new property to allow rotation of shapes. 25. Added new z-order options for a single step forward or backward. 26. Added option to undo multiple groups. 27. The Select Server dialog now remembers the last 10 servers. 28. Component naming is now more dynamic and tracks the data it is associated w ith. Chart titles are used in the name if it is one word. Labels and groupboxes also use the title. Images pull out the image name. 29. Added a paste menu item to the component menu. 30. Added Rainflow Chart component. 31. Added a new function, SelectSwitch(), that can be used to select from multi ple case predicate and value combinations. The behavior of this function is simi lar to that of nested IIF statements. 32. Web Publishing rights can now be specified in the publish directory and don 't rely entirely on the root permissions. 33. Locale is now used when formatting numbers. Instead of 1234567 you see 1,23 4,567. 34. Reworked the html tabs so that they don't wrap and are smaller and have a d rop down button to select off-screen tabs. 35. Added code to sort the web queries by their start option and order options before streaming them to JavaScript. This will allow requests with smaller data sets to get serviced first. 36. Removed the 15 series limit on the Time Series Chart, XY Chart, and Scope. Bug Fixes 1. Fixed an issue where a . in the station name was breaking data browsing. 2. Fixed an issue where all images were using the nocache option that caused th e browser to download them every time the page loaded. 3. Changed the Web Publisher so that all the jQuery UI image files are named im g1.png img2.png etc. The short file names reduce the amount of space taken up on the datalogger's drives. 4. Changed the expressions as well as alarm comparators to round the values dow

n to 7 decimals and then do the comparisons. This cleans up all of the artifacts that show up in the floating point operations. 5. Fixed a problem where an invalid expression could cause an exception that wa sn't handled properly during the conversion from v2.3. 6. Fixed a problem where chart wasn't being sorted correctly and could cause ba ckwards lines in the data. 7. Fixed a logic flaw when a report header wasn't present that caused the chart ranges not to update properly. 8. A feature was added to disable the database login dialog in RTMC Run-time if the user has made a single successful login and connection to the given databas e. 9. Change 'Set Point' and 'Digital' to display timestamps recorded within data tables (time of maximum) as timestamps by default instead of nanoseconds. 10. Fixed an issue with component groupings when being exported in a component snapshot. Backgrounds were being wiped out. 11. Fixed an issue where undoing a deleted screen left it without any data. 12. Fixed an issue where Z couldn't be used in virtual data source name. 13. Fixed an issue where renaming datasource names would cause problems with ot her calculations. 14. Fixed a bug where the chart series was using the current locale to format t ime stamp values. If this value was then interpreted again as a date, the PM of the date portion was lost. 15. Fixed snapshots dealing with groups where components were getting skipped. 16. Fixed issue with max number of series in a chart. 17. Report notes in web now persist when switching tabs in CSI Web Server. 18. Fixed a bug where statistic dates were being parsed as GMT values but were formatted as local values. 19. Fixed time based alarm logging. 20. Added code to the various data file reader objects so that, when these are woken, the new length of the file's data section will be compared against the le ngth that was cached when the reader was hibernated. If this length is less than the cached value, we will consider the file to be overwritten. This addresses a race condition in the web server when it was configured to read a data file tha t was constantly being overwritten. 21. Have added code to prevent an HTTP client attempt to traverse to parent pat hs. The web server now disallows any path that contains ".." in its path. 22. Fixed an issue where charts were remembering points that should have been r emoved. 23. Fixed an issue where hotspot hover captions weren't being hidden properly. 24. Fixed an issue where line feeds at the end of labels were shifting text in web. 25. Fixed an issue where time comps weren't restarting data advise properly. 26. Changed the cutoff index by one so charts in Web Server match charts runnin g locally. 27. Fixed an issue where chart marks were rounding all values to integers. 28. Fixed an issue where multi-state alarms weren't playing audio files. 29. Fixed issue where charts on the Web Server weren't applying report ranges p roperly. /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// RTMC Pro 4.0 November 2011 Known Issues 1. If LNDB has been running with a SQL Server 2005 database, the timestamps in the tables will be of type DateTime. If you then upgrade to SQL Server 2008 the DateTime data type for the timestamps is carried over to the 2008 database. How ever, LNDB expects the timestamps to be of type DateTime2 which has a higher pre cision than DateTime. This type mismatch causes queries to fail. In order to f

ix this issue, you will need to use the SQL Server management tools to change th e data type for the timestamp columns to DateTime2. Enhancements 1. The CSI Web Server and Web Publisher have been added. 2. Two new data source types have been added: HTTP Datalogger Sources and Virt ual Data Sources. 3. SetTimestamp function has been added. This can be used to apply a timestamp to a value that has an incorrect timestamp or no timestamp. 4. Wind Rose component has been revised with many new properties available. 5. Image component updated so that a URL can be used as the image source. Also, the rotation of the image can now be variable based on a data value. 6. Added FTP Server Type to Snapshot & FTP Settings. 7. Added <F5> support to the data browse dialog to refresh view. 8. Removed Log Status Bar. Added a new scale option to the basic status bar for Logarithmic. 9. Removed the Log Gauge. Added a new scale option to the basic gauge for Logar ithmic. 10. The gauge hub size, and gauge pointer length and width are now percentages o f the radius to the outer edge of the scale. This makes it so when the component is resized, the pointer is resized automatically. 11. Added the option to format dates so that midnight between 00:00:00 and 00:00 :59 is formatted as 24 hours for the previous day. Option %#H. 12. Made Ctrl-Click not only add a component to a selection, but also remove a c omponent from the selection. 13. Added the ability to name snapshot files instead of forcing the Screen.CompN ame convention. Bug Fixes 1. Fixed a bug where extra line feeds were being added into multi-line labels a nd notes. 2. Fixed a bug reported with grouped snapshots where the z-order was reversed. 3. Fixed a bug where the standard message couldn't be turned off in multi-state alarm emails. 4. Fixed speed issues with snap-to-grid set. 5. Changed the implementations of the MedianRun() and MedianRunOverTime() funct ions so that, if the number of values in the sequence is even, the return value will be the average of the two middle values. 6. Changed the EQV operator so that it evaluates the bitwise equivalence of two integer operands. 7. Fixed an issue where cc and bcc weren't being sent after an alarm triggered ... they were only being sent properly when testing. 8. Changed the way comm status alarms are reported in emails and in the alarm l ogs so that the user can see what state the stations are actually in. 9. Improved table display performance and sizing as well as mouse wheel support . 10. Fixed the report note and label properties so words wrap. 11. Reworked image caching in the project files. 12. Added ... when text goes out of the bounding digital display area. 13. Made changes so that intervals land on event steps instead of just based on the current time when using the ReportRange. 14. Disabled the bad data icon when stepping through "Live Data" intervals. 15. Fixed a timestamp synchronization issue that was causing timestamps from the same table to not match up in expressions. 16. Now allow spaces in FTP passwords.

In order to f ix this issue, you will need to use the SQL Server management tools to change th e data type for the timestamp columns to DateTime2. Enhancements 1. A database can now be used as a data source. 2. Report generation is now supported. This includes the new components: Repor t Range, Report Header, Report Note, and Report Export. 3. New Segmented Label, Segmented Digital, and Segmented Time components. 4. A ValueSynch function has been added to allow you to synchronize the data wh en displaying data from two different stations. 5.

Added wildcard support to the Image component. This allows RTMC to display i mages being brought in by LoggerNet when the names may be changing. It displays the newest image that matches the wildcard filter. 7. Added an age gradient option to the XY Chart. If an age gradient is used, th e newest point will be the first color specified and the oldest point will be th e second color specified. Points in between the newest and oldest will slowly pr ogress from the first color to the second color. 8. Images and sounds used in a project are now embedded in the project. This al lows projects to be shared more easily. 9. A Load as Template menu item has been added which enables you to easily use the same project for multiple stations. 10. Added cc: and bcc: options to email send. Bug Fixes 1. Fixed a problem where alarm logging was not working when launched with Save and Run from the Development window. 2. Fixed a problem with Split processed Edlog data files, where components were one array behind. 3. Fixed a problem with time components with a source of "Time Value" or "Serve r Time on last Data Collection From Station" not updating in Run-time. 4. Fixed an issue with manually entering override scheduled collection interval s where a zero on the end was truncated. 5. Fixed an issue where chart marks specified as "Only show if clicked" were no t showing up when clicked. 6. Fixed an issue with chart background images not showing up in RTMC Run-time. 7. Fixed an issue with TOB2 files not working as data sources.

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// RTMC Pro 3.1

Sept 29, 2009 Enhancements 1. The ability to declare aliases for data values used in expressions has been a dded. This can simplify an expression, if a data value is used multiple times in the expression. 2. New functions are available for expressions including Total and TotalOverTim eWithReset. 3. A new alarm log file can now be started based on a time interval. (Previousl y, a new alarm log file was always started based on size of the current alarm lo g file.) 4. The Run CoraScript component can now execute multiple CoraScript commands by stringing the commands together separated by semi-colons. 5. A stair step option has been added to the Time Series Chart. When enabled, d ata values are shown as horizontal lines and vertical lines are used to transiti on between one data value and the next. If this option is not enabled, data tran sitions are shown as slanted lines between one data point and the next. 6. Marks can now be added to a Time Series Chart. (Marks are labels for the dat a points on the chart.) 7. A delay has been added to alarm events. If enabled, this will cause the alar m events to be delayed for the specified period of time after an alarm is trigge red. For example, this could be used to give a person monitoring the alarm a per iod of time to resolve the alarm condition before others are notified by email. 8. Added visual themes under the Editor|Preferences menu for Run-time and Devel opment. 9. Added ability to use PageUp/pageDown to move through data in a table display . 10. Added ability for Comm Status Alarm to fire events and monitor multipe stati ons. 11. Added ability to acknowledge all alarms on a given screen. Bug Fixes 1. Fixed issue where source properties were being lost when converting from pre v3.0 to v3.0 projects 2. Fixed problem where not all screens/components enabled for FTP were getting FTP'd. 3. Fixed issue with autolabels and autoscaling. 4. Fixed issue with the IIF function. 5. Fixed issue with the z-order being backwards when loaded in Run-time. 6. Fixed the functions that could return a value with a timestamp so that the t imestamp is accessible. These functions are IIF, Last, ValueAtTime, MaxRun, MinR un, MaxRunOverTime, MinRunOverTime. 7. Fixed the chart so it doesn't trigger FTP every time it refreshes when FTP i s based on new data.
