PPCAN-Editor 2 Version History

17.04.2012 - Version 2.0.7

Bug fixes:

  • After a failure of the configuration transfer to a module, it could happen that the PPCAN communication didn't work correctly anymore. This had an impact on the internal PPCAN communication process
  • If two instances of the PPCAN-Editor were running and connected to the same PCAN hardware, the reading of a configuration could not be performed without a preceding detect cycle
  • On editing a variable name no error was shown when the name was deleted (empty) and the editing was finished
  • After reading a configuration from a module, the "Send configuration" command was active and could be executed although there wasn't any configuration selected in the dropdown list
  • If pressing F2 for editing on the General tab in the CAN Objects window, always the tree item was edited, even if the focus was on another column (e.g. Information)
  • Due to the fix in version 2.0.4 regarding I/O numbers, columns in the module window with an assigned enum could not be edited anymore
  • When selecting an I/O function that did not have a defined I/O number, the corresponding I/O number column wasn't updated immediately

Improvements:

  • In the module window on the Function blocks tab, the dropdown control of the Parameters column has been made resizable

 

09.02.2012 - Version 2.0.6.219

  • Bug fix: When reading configurations back that had profiles with more than one supported channel, it could happen that the variables for the symbols had not been created and each symbol in the IO configuration was created in a separate bus with the same channel

 

07.02.2012 - Version: 2.0.5.218

Bug fixes:

  • In the service "Characteristic Curve" the value of "Point Count" was not taken after a change
  • Correction regarding the reading of profile files
  • If a configuration of a project that did not have a module configuration, has been deleted with the command "Edit -> Delete Configuration" and the navigator was still open, the configuration was not removed from the Navigator (just after reopening the Navigator). If the displayed configuration was then selected in the Navigator, an exception occurred

 

15.12.2011 - Version 2.0.4.214

Bug fixes:

  • Because of the introduction of the sorted IO number names a wrong IO number could be determined in the module configuration window, if "0" was chosen as the name of the IO number and this element was not the first entry in the list. All other IO numbers were interpreted correctly
  • If the IO functions in the service "Message Gateway" were changed, the connected IO numbers or their names were not updated correctly
  • In the window "CAN Objects" an error "List index out of bounds" may occur while switching between the tabs. This was triggered when previously an element was removed under "General", which was used in the IO configuration

 

24.10.2011 - Version 2.0.3.213

Bug fixes:

  • If in the Module Configuration window the tabs were switched and on the active tab there were entries, but these were not selected, and the command Edit > Delete Record was executed, an exception "Index -1 out of bounds" occured
  • The commands Transmit > Detect Modules, Send Configuration, Send All Configurations, and CAN > Reset could be executed, even if no CAN connection was active. Now a note is displayed
  • The main menu could be made floating by dragging with the mouse or double-cklicking
  • When sending a configuration, after the End-Of-Configuration command, it was not waited for its echo. Therefore, it was not ensured that the configuration of the module was finished successfully
  • When sending or reading configurations the progress bar was displayed in the status bar, however, the progress of the transfer (write/read) was not updated correctly

Improvement:

  • Improved loading of the PPCANB32.dll library

 Notes:

  • New library PPCANB32.dll version 2.0.0.4 is used; an error has been corrected, where a possible termination of the module has not been treated and a wrong status was signalled to the caller when receiving commands during or at the end of a block transfer

 

11.03.2011 - Version 2.0.2.211

  • Bug fix: Changing the I/O Function property in the services of the module configuration caused an exception

 

08.12.2010 - Version 2.0.1.210

Bug fixes:

  • In the services "Message Gateway" and "Event-based Messaging" the fields "Source Bus", "Source Message", "Destination Bus", and "Destination Message" were incorrectly evaluated and changes to those fields were interpreted wrong
  • If a window "Module Configuration" was open and active and if via the Edit menu the command "Delete Configuration" was executed, the window still existed in the background. If it then was activated or brought into the foreground, an exeption occured
  • If a double click was done with the mouse onto the toolbar area, the Customize dialog was shown
  • After the startup of the program the buttons "Active Window" and "Close" of the MDI tabs were active, even if no project was loaded
  • The headings of the toolbars have been corrected (only visible when the toolbars are dragged from the program)
  • In the "About PPCAN Files" dialog the columns in the list "PPCAN Profile Files" have been adjusted
  • The minimum size of the dialog "About PPCAN Files" has been changed
  • When adding busses, symbols, or variables, the focus was not set correctly. Furthermore, the "Data Inspector" was not updated
  • When the tool window "Navigator" was active and in the "Edit" menu the "Rename" command was executed, nothing happened
  • When executing the command "Import from CANdb network files", the error message "PCAN Symbols Library is not installed" was displayed if the PCAN-Explorer 5 was not installed, even though the PCAN-Explorer 4 was installed including Add-In
  • The term "Module" was changed to "Modules"
  •  When executing the command "Update Hardware Profile", the name of the configuration including the "I/O" was displayed in the note text
  • The tab order was corrected in the Options dialog

Changes:

  • All menu and toolbar commands and their tooltip texts have been revised
  • The note texts of the menu and toolbar commands are now displayed in the status bar
  • All texts (including error messages) have been revised
  • The exception handling has been revised
