Section 1. Introduction
You can also now continue an instruction onto multiple lines by placing the
line continuation indicator (a single space followed by an underscore “_”) at
the end of the each line that is to be continued. Also, bookmarks in a CRBasic
program are now persistent from session to session.
The Device Configuration Utility has a new off-line mode which allows you to
look at the settings for a certain device type without actually being connected
to a device.
The ability to lock the timestamp column on the left of the data file has been
added to View. This keeps the timestamp visible as you scroll through
columns of data.
Split has a new “Time Sync to First Record” option that can be used with the
time-sync function to avoid blank lines at the start of the output file. Also, a
range of time values rather than a single time can now be entered in a Split
Copy Condition.
CardConvert can now be run from a command line without user interaction.
An option to provide feedback on PC400 has been added to the PC400
Toolbar’s Help menu.
Starting in version 4.2, PC400 now supports display and input of Unicode
characters/strings in many areas of the product. Unicode is a universal system
for encoding characters. It allows PC400 to display characters in the same way
across multiple languages and countries. To support Unicode, an Insert
Symbol dialog box has been added to the CRBasic Editor. This allows you to
insert Unicode symbols into your CRBasic program for use in Strings and
Units declarations.
PakBus Encryption is now supported for communication between PC400 and
CR1000, CR3000, and CR800 series dataloggers. Note that the datalogger
must be running OS 26 or later in order for PakBus Encryption to be used. A
PakBus Encryption Key must be entered in both the datalogger’s device
settings and PC400’s EZSetup Wizard. AES-128 encryption is used.
Boolean values displayed on the Monitor Data tab now have an LED icon next
to them to allow for easy toggle.
A Constant Customization feature has been added to the CRBasic Editor. This
allows you to define values for one or more constants in a program prior to
performing a conditional compile. The constants can be set up with an edit
box, a spin box field for selecting/entering a value, or with a list box. A step
increase/decrease can be defined for the spin box, as well as maximum and
minimum values.
The CRBasic Editor now allows you to Save and Open Display Settings.
Display settings affect the look and feel of the CRBasic Editor. This includes
font and background, as well as syntax highlighting.
View has a new View Record option in the right-click menu that can be used to
view an entire record in a new window.
