Possible Problems with this ReleaseWe are aware of the following issues. Please notify us of any problems you may experiencewith this release of iTools.• With certain early versions of Windows 95, and depending on the computer'snetworking configuration, iTools may delay for several minutes during startup. Thisproblem may be rectified by obtaining an updated version of the Windows Socketslibrary (currently Winsock/DNS Upgrade 1.2 for PPTP) from Microsoft.• It is possible that iTools may exhibit display problems when used with a very smallnumber of types of graphics card: in particular, the toolbar icons may be corrupted. Thisis due to a well-known compatibility issue with some display driver software versions. Ifthis should occur, you will probably be able to resolve the problem by either:obtaining an updated version of the driver software,changing the colour depth setting of the driver (i.e. increasing or decreasing the numberof available colours in the colour palette), orreducing the graphics hardware acceleration; this is accessed from the Performance tabof the System applet in the Control Panel.• Cloning of DigF (Digital Function Mask) parameters of 2200 devices may not functioncorrectly. Where used, these parameters should be checked individually following eachclone operation.• It is not possible to change the accessibility of parameters and lists on 2200 and 2200edevices through iTools, as it is for 2400 devices. For example, parameters may not behidden or promoted.• The Remote Instrument Protocol functionality does not work with version 1.00 of the2408i indicator product. In other words, iTools faceplates for this type of instrument willnot show live values. This is due to a minor fault in the indicator itself.• With OPC Scope, trend charts may display incorrectly when using the Review mode tozoom in to a very high magnification.• Under certain circumstances, the Modbus OPC Server application (EuroMBus) mayimpede the opening of certain types of document from the Explorer (i.e. the Windows 95a-8 User Handbook.
