Set64rs-Software-Issues

Outstanding Issues

• PROFILE LOG record pointer should be adjusted to point at currently loaded PRL PRH held in the controller > thus will synch the user to the state of the setup! Now it is not and is BAD!

• MENU > SYNCHRONIZE CONTROLER > code does not exist yet

• need to store selected channel in database for software restart purposes? > initialize to last selected channel at start up?

• software should be able to run without controller connected to channel > for user to be able to refer to controllers to see what is going on when they need to confirm

• SELECT RUN PROFILE button routine does not update CONTROLLER CONFIGURATION database table

• mnuExit function

• file open > all profiles should be in the same directory

• mnuSynchronizeController does not have any code in it yet

• Autotune not tested yet

• StoreProfileExecuting > does not store all CONFIGURATION values in DB.

• When does new temperature controller memory get loaded into the controller memory database?

• H - Hours time scale appears to be not compiling correctly ?

• database needs to set PROFILE LOG pointer at boot up to last run profile as determined by where the PRL / PRH are set in controller

• Hardware > Alarm setting does not work

• Clean out commented out lines

• Clean out debug messages

• error trapping code > will be needed soon for debug also > is freezing out 1/2 way through simple profile

In Process

• channel select needs wired up throughout the code

• • form_load should use last used stored channel number to start up interface > User CHANNEL SELECTION thereafter

• • RUN MODE setting does not have addressing wired up yet

• STORED PROFILE characteristics not initialized at boot up > have menu routine read from database when clicked open
  • retains settings shown when other channel properly displays

Resolved Issues

• Switching channels does not update .......... RESOLVED: all sub points fixed
  • PROGRAM LOG display
  • CONTROLLER MEMORY display
  • switching channels should trigger RUN STATE READ

• after UPLOAD PROFILE : PROFILE LOG shows profiles from all controllers: not just the one whose address is dialed in

• on bootup PROFILE LOG shows only profiles from dialed in address: After switching to different channel: database view shows MODBUSADDRESS

• PROFILE PARAMETERS DISPLAY pic box on the menu: RESOLUTION: eliminated > not needed because PROFILE LOG now displays these parameters.

• about menu information: RESOLVED: Added

• memory management > when deleting profiles > sometimes a profile gets left in controller program memory > RESOLVED: Duplicate name > erases
  • recreation of problem: upload profile to range1. upload same profile name to range2. Range1 is not zero'd out.
  • when a name is deleted from profile log > zero out corresponding range!

• Full debug testing on RUN / PAUSE / RESTART / JUMPTO
  • When program is restarted > controller memory modified segments are not restored >>> Does RUN PROFILE keep database CONTROLLER CONFIGURATION up to date? > NO
• Pause Button > Set Single Set Point = Current temperature: RESOLVED: Implemented
  • After: Pause Profile > Restart Profile : No controller state records are found: RESOLVED: Interpolation routine loop searched for next valid line was erroneous.
• Pause Profile appears not to store off SEGMENT TIME properly > only a 3 second sliver gets trimmed off > RESOLVED

• JumpTo button caption changes after clicking: RESOLUTION: Change text to 'JumpTo'

• grey out profile run parameters /segment/segment time/set temp when RunMode=SV ...not valid then:RESOLVED: Ignore for now. Not crucial.

• Move Single Set Point function: CONTROLLER SETTINGS menu > RESOLUTION: moved to menu under MENU = CONTROLLER SETTINGS

• Scroll bar enabled view? > for low res displays? RESOLUTION: Scrollbar function not exposed for forms in VB6 > must use API > issue dismissed

• grid displays .................RESOLVED: expand buttons show all fields when clicked > buttons are visible in debug view
  • currently shows all fields
  • need 2 views > debug / normal > wire up menus
    • Display options:
      • Show all fields / show user fields
      • show buttons to allow wide view / narrow view

• form centering code: RESOLUTION > solution used did not work very well > sized and placed in upper right hand of form to minimize video resolution requirements

• size up for correct display > RESOLUTION: sized up for 1280 X 1024 screen size: works down to 1280 X 960

• get rid of automatic compiled profile load > use only the menu load method
  • PROFILE-UPLOAD errors out when set as StartUp form > CommPortNumber = 0 >
    • RESOLUTION:Add standalone code in form_load > leave code in PROFILE EDITOR for now.

• organize menus > too wide right now
  • MENU > READ PROGRAM CONTROL > unnecessary? > program run mode should be kept up to date by the software > DELETED

• needs to remember last profile that was being executed for purpose of easy restart
  • software does not store executing profile in database? > RESOLUTION:Store when profile is selected
  • needs to recall executing profile name and display in EXECUTING PROFILE field at startup > RESOLUTION: Recalled at start up in form_activated

Issues Delayed

• DataBase cleanup > what happens if duplicates or incompletes get into table? > occasionally should execute and clean > at startup: WHY? db's appeared clean

• Change directory structure of where profiles are stored > store all profiles in 1 profile folder > eliminate Channel-XX structure: WHY? Not critical > doubt if is correct path to follow?
