  • Double clicking the status bar or the connection text did not open the Connect dialog
  • While recording LIN frames the values in the upper status bar were not updated correctly, if the traces was started once and then paused or stopped
  • Sometimes the frame number was not written correctly when saving trace files
  • Revision of the inputs of the Options dialog

2011-06-01 - Version 1.1.4

PLIN Symbols Library: 1.0.2.4 (11.05.2011)
Part of the PCAN-USB Pro setup 2.3.0.38 dated 09.06.2011

Bug fixes:

  • When recording LIN frames, the start time "$STARTTIME" was written to the trace file only as time stamp value of the start. This had no connection to the date "Start time"
  • When receiving LIN frames, the frames were not shown in the receive list if the time interval was large (>= 50 ms; fastest refresh rate in the reception window)
  • A receive list optimized by a previous version could trigger an exception under specific circumstances when connecting to the PCAN-USB Pro in slave mode
  • A receive list optimized by a previous version led to a list with doubled or missing frames
  • If a single frame was deleted from a receive list, it could happen that it was not received anymore until a reset was done
  • If all frames in a receive list were deleted separately and afterwards no frames were received anymore, the receive list stayed empty completely (no display of the Empty line)

Improvement:

  • Introduced PLIN-View Pro trace file format 1.1

2011-05-11 - Version 1.1.3

PLIN Symbols Library: 1.0.2.4 (11.05.2011)
Not part of the PCAN-USB Pro setup (interim version)

Bug fixes:

  • With a valid connection to hardware, after executing the "Reset" command, all LIN frames were deleted from the Receive list, however, not all received LIN frames were shown in the list afterwards
  • Sorting of LIN frames in the Receive list did not work correctly. If LIN frames were present in the Receive list and a column caption was clicked, only this and the data column were sorted but not the remaining ones
  • When using LDF files and the contained signals, under specific circumstances signal values could not be changed with the Signal dialog, especially if a signal was defined with several logic values with same texts. In that case always the first logic value of the list was used. Now the signal value for logic values always consists of value and text (%Value% - %Text%)

Improvements:

  • To improve the clarity, the Receive list and the Transmit/Publisher list have signal names and signal values in different colors

2010-04-29 - Version 1.1.2

PLIN Symbols Library: 1.0.1.3 (20.04.2011)
Part of the PCAN-USB Pro setup 2.2.6.36 dated 29.04.2011

Bug fixes:

  • When executing the "Disconnect" command, the Connect dialog was updated in the wrong column
  • When connecting to hardware, the wrong channel was shown in the status bar
  • If on a system never any PLIN project had been opened, the menu lists for "Recent Files" were not filled correctly. When opening a PLIN frame or an LDF file, each time all previous files were added to the menu
  • The display of frame data and signal data was almost not readeable when the data changed frequently during reception, e.g. because of a counter. At each update all received LIN frames were re-displayed, even several ones of the same ID. Now only the last received frame is displayed

Improvements:

  • The default width of the "Checksum" column under "Trace" was enlarged so that the text after the first program start was shown in whole
  • Minimized the flickering of the Receive and Transmit lists

2010-12-16 - Version 1.1.1

PLIN Symbols Library: 1.0.0.2 (12.11.2010)
Part of the PCAN-USB Pro setup 2.2.4.33 dated 01.02.2011

Note:

  • The program was compiled with a new version of the PLIN-API, which can read the hardware ID of the LIN hardware. Prerequisites:
    • PLIN-Manager Version 2.2.27.70
    • PLIN-API Version 2.2.27.70

Improvements:

  • Added a further column for the hardware ID in the Connect dialog

2010-11-19 - Version 1.1.0

PLIN Symbols Library: 1.0.0.2 (12.11.2010)
Part of the PCAN-USB Pro setup 2.2.3.28 dated 06.12.2010

Buf fixes:

  • If an LDF file was loaded, values of signals (signal type unknown) could not be edited in the Signal dialog
  • If an LDF file was loaded, values of signals (signal type mixed) could not be edited correctly in the Signal dialog. Either a dropdown list for logic values was shown or an entry field for physical values. However, the value could not be entered or selected in both fields
  • After loading an LDF file and when the Connect dialog was shown, the wrong bit rate was selected or was not adopted by the LDF file
  • After loading an LDF file with protocol versions 1.2 or 1.3, the checksum type was set to Enhanced although these versions only support Classic
  • If the program was connected to hardware and a schedule table was started and when the hardware was removed during runtime (unplugged PCAN-USB Pro from the USB port), the status was displayed correctly, but the schedule table still was running in the program and its status was not reset

Improvements:

  • Introduced PLIN project files that can be used for saving and reloading LDF files, among others
  • Former PLIN frame files can be loaded and PLIN projects can be saved as PLIN frame files (only specific data)
  • A loaded LDF file can be embedded into or linked to a project file
  • An Options dialog has been added
  • The Signal dialog was revised in order to add comments to signals
  • The input in the Signal dialog was improved
  • Added the main menu item "Recent Files". The list is split to project files, frame files, and LDF files, and limited to 10 entries each
  • "Baudrate" was replaced by "Bit rate"
  • Shortcut [Shift]+[Delete] assigned to the menu item "Transmit/Publish > Delete", because the use of [Delete] was not possible in the properties
  • Removed the shortcut for the menu item "Transmit > Clear All"

2010-08-06 - Version 1.0.1

PLIN Symbols Library: 0.0.1.1 (29.03.2010)
Part of the PCAN-USB Pro setup 2.2.2.20 dated 06.12.2010

  • First official release
