Simon, cobber--we're the ones who have to apologise It seems that that is on the feature list for the next release...well, so now you know what to expect! This version included Bug Fixes, but no added features. I have already fixed the document in the site--thanks for the heads-up!

Hi Steve, The release of VisiLogic 8.6.3 was just announced at http://forum.unitronics.com/index.php?/forum/9-news-and-announcements/ Since a list of version changes and bug fixes were not published with 8.6.2, these have been included with the documents for VisiLogic 8.6.3. The download and documents are at: http://www.unitronics.com/Content.aspx?page=Downloads

Hi guys Tim, you'll see the feature you requested in an official released version during Q1, 2011. It will show up in an Intermediate Version sometime before that. Thanks for the input! >When using Sting Library values in a list-of-text variable, you have to choose each entry one... by one...by one... That's really slow going when you've got over 200 to do... It would be great if we could choose to use a string value, then highlight a range within the string library, and insert them all sequentially into the variable<

Great story, Matt!

Hi,I'm Cara, Unitronic's technical writer.First of all, you are correct--the GUI was changed some time ago, and the Help was not updated. The text that formerly appeared in the function, now appears in a tooltip, if you hover your cursor over the function.You are also correct that the order of the operands was not defined in the Help. I took a moment to correct that (and edit the capture), and you will see it the next time I release a Help version.This is certainly relevant to other Math functions; I have put these on the to-do list; but I must admit that it is not high priority.Thanks!

Nice! I also appreciated the care taken with the Info Mode--that's a consideration that is easily overlooked

Nacho, no te preocupes...we can leave it there forever if need be :-)

Okay--the topic was raised. We cannot implement it currently, but will in the next generation.

Remember though: Whadda buncha geeks...er...froods

The current reigning feline would just "love" that...though the junior dog would certainly enjoy having someone lower on the totem pole. I'm sure Emil will come up with something. He's the creative type

Unfortunately, the importer tools are not compatible with the old forum, which ran on Snitz 2000

Damian, as far as I know, there are not any forum platfroms that allow 'direct upload' so to speak. What we DO have now is: the Gallery, where you can keep a library of pictures. attachments, the lack of which was a huge, huge PITA Sorry to disappoint you:(

Now that was a truly interesting glimpse as to how PLCs...changed things...for lack of a better term. This is, of course, exactly what technology does, whether it is a threshing machine, a printing press, or--today--mobile technology. Thanks!

Simon, I'll bold it, just for you!

Joe--you could have tested that before I tweaked the settings. That's a 5-letter word

Seriously-I'm curious, no pies Apart from more 'real estate' for the HMI, are there any particular features you are looking for in a larger screen? Have any of you been using such displays--do you have a preference, among manufacturers?

Ok, Damian, I just tweaked the search settings. I searched for 'bug' and got results..let me know if you have any other problems.

Please excuse Saragani. The August heat is getting to him!

Emil is right; it is at an advanced stage, and looking good. Damian--duck! Lemon meringue

Yes, R&D is taking notes. It is a good idea. However--it is August. I placed it as a time-based request, so it will pop up at the beginning of September, when all of the relevant people will be back and normal work resumes...

Damian, Damian--your first post in the forum is the hardest question of all to answer. Seriously--we're working on it. There are a group of R&D hardware guru chained to their desks, plugging away, and I stop by there often to see how it's coming along...and it is, hopefully sooner rather than later. Now, for a little preemptive action--yes UDFBs are STILL on the list.

AutoHotKey is a great little tool. And R&D and Support will be happy for the positive feedback--thanks, Phil!

If operating systems/programming languages were chickens • NT Chicken: Will cross the road in June. No, August. September for sure. • OS/2 Chicken: It crossed the road in style years ago, but it was so quiet that nobody noticed. • Win 95 Chicken: You see different coloured feathers while it crosses, but cook it and it still tastes like ... chicken. • Microsoft Chicken ™: It's already on both sides of the road. And it just bought the road. • OOP Chicken: It doesn't need to cross the road, it just sends a message. • Assembler Chicken: First it builds the road ... • C Chicken: Crosses the road without looking both ways. • C++ Chicken: The chicken wouldn't have to cross the road, you'd simply refer to him on the other side. • VB Chicken: USHighways!TheRoad.cross (aChicken) • Delphi Chicken: The chicken is dragged across the road and dropped on the other side. • Java Chicken: If your road needs to be crossed by a chicken, the server will download one to the other side. (Of course, those are chicklets.) • Web Chicken: Jumps out onto the road, turns right, and just keeps on running. • Gopher Chicken: Tried to run, but got flattened by the Web chicken. • Newton Chicken: Can't cluck, can't fly, and can't lay eggs, but you can carry it across the road in your pocket! • Cray Chicken: Crosses faster than any other chicken, but if you don't dip it in liquid nitrogen first, it arrives on the other side fully cooked. • Quantum Logic Chicken: The chicken is distributed probabalistically on all sides of the road until you observe it on the side of your choice. • Lotus Chicken: Don't you *dare* try to cross the road the same way we do! • Mac Chicken: No reasonable chicken owner would want a chicken to cross the road, so there's no way to tell it to. • COBOL Chicken: 0001-CHICKEN-CROSSING. IF NO-MORE-VEHICLES THEN PERFORM 0010-CROSS-THE-ROAD VARYING STEPS FROM 1 BY 1 UNTIL ON-THE-OTHER-SIDE ELSE GO TO 0001-CHICKEN-CROSSING • Smalltalk Chicken: It inherits the crossroad:side method from the Fowl Superclass. • Forth Chicken: road cross chicken dup • Lisp Chicken: It only crosses parenthetical roads. • HTML Chicken: It uses an animated GIF to show a car on the road with the chicken alternating from side to side without getting hurt.
