Release Note

CAN Channel Settings

The user now has the ability to change the source address and baud rate of each CAN Channel. 

The Project Configuration Editor contains the CAN Configuration tab, which allows the user to change these CAN channel settings.  Frame Mode and CAN Mode selections are disabled, and will be supported in future releases of QuiC.

Multi-Language Support

QuiC projects can now support up to 9 languages:

·         English (Required)

·         Spanish

·         German

·         French

·         Swedish

·         Italian

·         Finnish

·         Portuguese

·         Chinese

 

NOTE:  Extended build times will occur when the Chinese character set is included in a project.

 

The Language Table Editor is used to manage string translations for all selected languages.  In the Screen Designer, users can toggle the selected languages, so that screen layouts can accommodate the longest “translated” string.

 

The SAS_SET_LANGUAGE script is provided so that users can change the active language via a menu selector object.

Output Window

An informational message will be displayed in the Output Window each time a configuration is copied to the USB.  This message will contain the date and time of the last successful copy.

Display unit colors may vary slightly to those shown in the QuiC Tool. Users should validate all colors are acceptable where appropriate on the display units.

 

Objects

 

Data Bar

If the tick marks on the data bar are too dense then the spacing is not monotonic.

Data Bar

The data bar has a one pixel width blue line on top.

Data Entry

When setting a default value for GENERAL data entry mode, the default value in character-based signals must contain the number of configured characters for the object.

Digital Instrument

If the needle of a digital instrument passes over a transparent area of the back ground bitmap, artifacts are left in that area.

Gauge

Poly Pointer rendering in the Screen Designer for Gauge Instrument is not correct

Line

Lines which use a pattern, and have a thickness greater than 1, will display as a solid line. Use bitmap in place of line.

Screen Designer

 

Copy/Paste

Data Bar and Digital Instruments have no order on the screen when you copy and paste the object.

Copy/Paste

When copying a mix of objects (regular and linked), the paste places the linked object as a new regular object, rather than a screen link.

Popup

The screen designer allows connections from a standard window to a pop up window which may cause errors if executed.
