Release Notes for Prosys Sentrol 4.4.0

A major enhancement is OPC address space filtering which is now implemented on the OPC client side and completed on the OPC server side.

TPsPersistentListEditDlg (used in connector Links editors) also has some usability improvements.

New

• Variable component editor has a popup menu entry (right mouse click): "Reset Caption to Name"

• In the Connector Links editors, highlight Items that have duplicates (same property values), such as OPC ItemID, ByteArray Address, etc.
• TPsPersistentList.FindSimilar, HasSimilarItems
• TPsPersistent.Compare, IsSimilar

• TPsCustomFloatArray.ElementType (enable arrays of Single or Double)
• PsBadSingleValue (in PsVars)

• TPsByteArrayConnector to initialize links with the "next" byte value (in the design time Links editor)

• TPsOPCAddressSpace.Filter of new type TPsOPCAddressSpaceFilter

• TPsCustomCompPanel.AutoHideEngUnit

• TPsOPCProvider registration to add (and remove) AppID registry keys
• TPsOPCProvider.Fail

• TPsOPCServer.FailureDisconnectDelay

• TPsVarForm.LocalTimeBias

• UTCTimeToStr (in PsUtils)

• RemoveNameValueFromCSV (in PsClasses)

Changed

• TPsOPCAddressSpaceBrowser with the Filtering controls

• FileTimeToStr (in PsUtils) changed to return 'N/A' for zero dates
• DateTimeToFileTime and FileTimeToDateTime (in PsUtils) to return zero dates for zero dates

Fixed

• GetSpecialFolderPath to use SHGetFolderPath, which will work in OS:s that do not support SHGetSpecialFolderPath (e.g. Win 2003 Server)

• TPsStorageStmt to correctly enter milliseconds to MS SQL Server DateTime fields (or overcome a "feature" in the driver)

• TPsVariant.SetPropAsArray to accept array values (coming from, e.g. an OPCConnector)
• And again a small number on minor issues
