New Features and Updates<br />
New Features and Updates<br />
CAUTION: In <strong>WinCon</strong> 3.3, the project file format has changed. Old project files will<br />
not work and MUST be rebuilt. Therefore, to convert a non-backward compatible<br />
<strong>WinCon</strong> project, one must save that project's visual layout (e.g. <strong>WinCon</strong> Displays and<br />
Control Panels) and settings in order to visually reproduce it in the new <strong>WinCon</strong> 3.3<br />
project format. Refer to Section <strong>WinCon</strong> Projects, on page 89, for more details.<br />
The new features and updates that have been made since the <strong>WinCon</strong> 3.2 release include:<br />
An improved <strong>WinCon</strong> Project file format. New <strong>WinCon</strong> Projects now include<br />
more information on each project component and are now portable (to different<br />
disk locations). Object-versioning information has also been added, to allow for<br />
backward compatibility with future releases of <strong>WinCon</strong>.<br />
<strong>WinCon</strong> Displays and Control Panels now reassociate their variables by<br />
name when loading a <strong>WinCon</strong> Project or when the real-time code is reloaded (e.g.<br />
because of a rebuild). Hence, it is now possible to change the Simulink model and<br />
reload a previous <strong>WinCon</strong> project and/or newly-generated real-time code with the<br />
previously defined Display(s) and Control Panel(s).<br />
Improved <strong>WinCon</strong> Scope (with new auto-scaling capabilities and faster<br />
graphics), XYGraph, Digital Meter and Thermometer.<br />
Two new Controls have been added to <strong>WinCon</strong> Controls: Text and Picture.<br />
Pictures and multi-line text can now be placed on <strong>WinCon</strong> Control Panels.<br />
<strong>WinCon</strong> Control Panels now write their current variable values to the<br />
controller when a project is loaded or the model is rebuilt, instead of the other<br />
way around.<br />
Under Windows NT/2000/XP, <strong>WinCon</strong> Client can now be run from a non-<br />
Administrator account, for higher security. Due to a new NT Service, called<br />
<strong>WinCon</strong> Service, Regular Users (i.e. with no Administrator privileges) have full<br />
use of <strong>WinCon</strong>.<br />
<strong>WinCon</strong> Task Manager enables the monitoring of real-time tasks.<br />
Improved MultiQ-PCI drivers. All 16 Analog-To-Digital channels can now be<br />
read at once.<br />
RTX is no longer required to be installed prior to installing <strong>WinCon</strong> Server,<br />
under Windows NT/2000/XP. However RTX MUST be installed to run real-time<br />
code on Windows NT/2000/XP.<br />
