Version History: ---------------- [-] = Bug fix or change in behavior [+] = Enhancement Version 5.0.0.4 (5.0.8093.24614), 02/27/2022 ----------------------------------------------- [-] When adding a new event to the event table, the filter selected in the event log toolbar is now respected (All Events, Todays Events, Errors, Warnings). New events are always saved to the event log database, but will only be added to the table if they match the selected filter. If the 'Today' filter is selected, any existing entries not from today will be deleted prior to adding a new event for today. [-] Added a retry capability to the GotoPosition command used for command-line operations. The number of retries and delay between retries must currently be set manually in the mpvalve.cfgx file (numretries and retrydelay). The default values are 4 and 500 milliseconds, respectively. The retry function prevents running sequences from stopping as a result of a transient issue with serial communication or the valve controller. [-] If an error stops a running sequence, the sequence status is now set to "not running" so that a new sequence can be started. Version 5.0.0.3 ----------------------------------------------- [-] Changed the installer upgrade GUID, which conflicted with the MS Sensor 4.0 installer and could cause problems with un-installing the applications if both are installed on the same system. Version 5.0.0.2 (5.0.7976.30083), 11/02/2021 ----------------------------------------------- [+] Added "Help" button to the Add/Edit Sequence Step window. [-] Trap and delete corrupted mpvalve.cfgx file on program startup. [-] Trap and notify when sequence file is corrupted. [-] Fixed: The "Sequence Step" in the sequence status panel was not being updated properly for the first step in a sequence. [-] Fixed: Duplicate valve switch events were being saved to the event log. [-] Fixed: the actuation summary would not be displayed if the actuation counter was not enabled for the last valve in the valve table. [-] Minor updates to manual/help. [-] Updated the installer to version X14. [-] Compiled with VS 2019. Version 5.0.0.1 (5.0.7948.15293), 10/05/2021 ----------------------------------------------- [-] The sequence event export is now performed on a background thread to improve performance when exporting long sequences with a large number of events. The Sequence Status progress bar is updated during the export. [-] Minor updates to the reference manual and help file. [-] Enhanced the Sequence Status display by separating the progress bar from the status label so that both can be updated and displayed simultaneously. [-] Added additional events to event log specifying the source of the Start/Stop/Advance sequence (manual vs command-line). [-] Sequence control buttons are reset properly after a sequence error. [-] Fixed: The error, "The stream is currently in use by a previous operation on the stream" could be generated when exporting sequence events to a CSV file at the end of the run. Version 5.0.0.0 (5.0.7940.20362), 09/27/2021 ----------------------------------------------- [+] Intital release. >>End of Readme<<
