1.9 |
New commands and improvements: Support for EA PLC Series Define monitored registers/string registers/array (write access) #VOR, #VOS, #VOA Macro call on write access from monitored register/string register/array #MOR, #MOS, #MOA Clear changed flag for monitored registers/string registers/array #VDR, #VDS, #VDA Assign an analog input / port to a register #VRA, #VRP Assign user values to an analog input #HAU Sound Output Global On/Off Switch #HTC Calculation: Query of the Changed Flag for monitored registers/string registers/array cfoR(nr), cfoS(nr), cfoA(nr) Calculation: Query the next changed register/string register/array (in the changed macro start at 0) cfoRN(), cfoSN(), cfoAN(), optionally Calculation: Number of pictures of picturebox and animation objPA(id) |

04/28/2022 |
1.71 |
Fixed: In some configurations (module, SD-Card, power-supply) after power-up "start.emc" not found is displayed. |

1.7 |
New commands and improvements: Editbox: The wildcard character can now also be specified as a string For already existing menus, the root and sub-sub menus can be redefined with #EMD Combobox entries are redefined with #ECD and afterwards entries can be added with #ECA Spinbox entries are redefined with #ESD and afterwards entries can be added with #ESA Read object text numerically in registers (all partial spinboxes are interpreted together) Windows BMP formats are now also natively supported for all images Objects can now blink (#OVI 2) the current visible state will be inverted, therefore alternate blinking is also possible Global blink time for objects adjustable #XBT Filenames/Directories to StringArray #FNA, #FNB File commands for direct reading/writing of variable types to/from registers/arrays File commands for direct reading/writing to/from string arrays(binary) #FRQ, #FWQ File commands for direct reading of numeric ASCII values in registers/arrays File commands for direct reading of one line (up to \n) of ASCII/Unicode strings in string arrays #FRT, #FRZ Calculation commands : Calculate a 32-bit spinboxentry from a decimal number with number of digits Calculation commands: I2C master send/receive error queryable mstIE() Calculation commands :Query position/size of child objects Major Bugs: sprintf leads in rare cases (e.g. with %.2f,%.1f) to an incorrect display or to a crash. For an existing picturebox, the entries could not be deleted (#EPD) and less could be added (#EPA) Editbox: if the wildcard character was changed or deleted with #SEW, the cursor was at a wrong position. |

1.6 |
New commands and improvements: Project encryption. Protect project against copy. PictureBox: Sliding menu including pictures / icons and text labels. Arrays: Besides Integer and float, now unicode array File write and read commands for array (#FWY, #FRY) Regular Expression to search and find in StringRegister and string arrays. Additional command to get hardcopy to object including background -> important for animations. (#XHB) Global activation / deactivation of touch panel (#TPE) Calculation commands: Get Obj-ID from drawing layer objLI() Calculation commands: Returnvalues working together with RegExp. Command syntax: All parameters can directly use array value e.g, A5I42, A0I(R7)... Command syntax: Stringparameter can use results from RegExp e.g. X0 Major Bugs: #XCO did not rotate the background #VRI, #VRF: If a register was used and assigned to itself together with a typechange, the result was wrong Creating a new object with a already used delete protected Obj-ID, both objects were alive with same Obj-ID. |

1.5 |
New commands and improvements: Additional global border for all objects with flag 64=OnlyRectangle (#TID) for touch query #TAA Possibility to specify 1/100 seconds for date/time printf (#SDP,#SDF,#SDC,#VSD,#WSA,#WSU,#YPD) and display it with the format %t (e.g. stop watch with timer()) Diagram commands: Lines with and without markers as value-time diagrams or XY diagrams with individual automatic labeling Calculation commands for the diagram functions e.g. finding the value for the last touch point diaLI() Calculation commands: Array functions extended: arMIN(),arMAX(), arAVG() Calculation commands: n-th root sqrt(var,n) Calculation commands: Logarithm to base n log(var,n) Calculation commands: Comparison if value is inside or outside two limits (indsideE(),insideU()) Calculation commands: Convert time string automatically: strV(hh:mm or hh:mm:ss) and date (DD.MM.YYY or YYYY.MM.DD Seperator is point, minus or slash) returns the datetime value in seconds Object can be assigned as marker for singlepath objects (GPL,GPF,GPP,GPT,GRR,GGP,GGS,GET,GEA,GES,GEP) #GPM Flag for fast drawing function for polylines (single lines) #GPO Major Bugs: A touch icon without sound name returned the error message "File not Found:" in the terminal Change DrawStyle for vector graphics with only one path (#OCS) did not work with ColorRamps. With multi-touch operation, one of the two up-macros with simultaneous release was not executed Strings that were placed in the full send buffer are blocking bytewise until string end (Timeout * characters e.g. 2s * 100 characters = 200s > 03 min) Master-Interface: Array send is working only a maximum of 1024 Byte (now max. 65535 Byte) Command #VQA, sorting arrays reutrned mixed up order Command #VRO did not work with menu, combobox and spinbox |
02/28/2020 |
1.4 |
New commands and improvements: Filenames can be written in "", that means can be used with Stringregisters Simple graphical object's are copied directly to the background (#SSP,#SFP,#SDP,#PPP,#PIP,#GRR,#GPL,#GPF,#GPP,#GPT,#GGP,#GGS,#GET,#GEA,#GES,#GEP) Masterinterface send/receive binary data from/to register (#HRX..) Hardcopy to image object (#XHO) Define free toucharea (invisble rectangle) (#TAF) Array functions (#VAI, #VAF...) Major Bugs: Stringbox: Memory leak Gradientfilling problem with textobjects. Non-Fullscreen hardcopy problem worked only for anchor 3,5 and 7 |

Load pictures through serial interface (#PIP) Load last error message into string register (#VSL) Commands for shuffling strings and registers (#VMR, #VMS, #VMC) Set timebase (#WDY) Improved video input: The automatic color system recognition was updated (#PVP) Major Bugs: Filenames starting with 'G' can cause problems depending on the command they are used width #TBO and groups. Not all childs got touch flags. In Stringfiles using Unicodenames as constants may lead to problems #XCU had wrong calculation (shifted with 1) Touchobjects with opacity of 1% weren't recognized with EA uniTFT070-A and EA uniTFT101-A |
