imc STUDIO 5.0의 소식

imc STUDIO의 일반적인 변경 사항

인터페이스 개선 및 기능 변경 사항

이제 소프트웨어 인터페이스에 새로운 기술이 사용됩니다. 결과적으로 작업 기술 측면에서 몇 가지 새로운 기능과 수정이 있습니다. 또한 몇 가지 문제가 해결되었습니다.

  • 이제 도구 창에 너비를 정의할 수 있습니다. 도구 창을 고정하면 너비가 변경되지 않습니다.
  • 대화 상자에 포커스가 있는 경우에도 로그를 볼 수 있습니다. 예를 들어, 과거에는 오류로 인해 Diskstart 설정을 저장하지 못한 경우 로그창이 열리지 않았습니다. 이제 사용자는 문제가 있는 위치를 즉시 볼 수 있습니다.
  • 셋업 페이지의 순서 변경과 같은 사용자 인터페이스의 변경 사항이 자동으로 감지됩니다. imc STUDIO를 종료할 때, 뷰로 변경 내용을 저장할지 여부를 묻는 명시적 프롬프트가 있습니다.
  • 리본 메뉴의 일부 버튼이 작동하지 않던 문제가 해결되었습니다.

지원되는 운영 체제 목록이 수정되었습니다.

지원되는 운영 체제

  • Windows 10
  • Windows 8.1
  • Windows 7 (32 Bit, 권장 : 64 Bit)

앞으로 최신 운영 체제의 기능을 사용할 수 있습니다. Windows XP에서 사용하던 구성 요소와 같은 이전 기능들을 삭제할 수 있으며 이를 통해 시스템을 간소화하는 효과가 있습니다.

2 Setup and device control

데이터 저장 미설정으로 인한 데이터 손실 방지

PC에 데이터 저장은 이제 모든 채널에 대해 기본적으로 활성화됩니다. 이는 아날로그 채널, 가상 채널, 필드 버스 채널 등과 같은 모든 채널 유형에 적용됩니다. 이 옵션은 더 이상 저장 설정하지 않아 발생하는 데이터 손실을 방지합니다. 저장이 필요하지 않은 경우에 수동으로 해제할 수 있습니다.

이 기능이 필요하지 않은 경우 "기본값" 변경을 통해 새로 생성된 채널의 저장 기능을 비활성화 할 수도 있습니다. 자세한 설명은 다음 설명에서 찾을 수 있습니다.

"Setup - Device Configuration" > "Menu Ribbon" > "Configuration" > "Default Value" > "Channel" (True/False)

단일 트리거 기능이 더 이상 기본 설정이 아닙니다.

이제 트리거 기능의 기본 값이 undefined로 설정됩니다. 트리거 반복 횟수를 직접 선택해야 합니다.

imc REMOTE Secure Access를 통하여 장치와 보안 연결

imc REMOTE SecureAccess를 사용하면 방화벽이 활성화된 경우에도 장치에 직접 안전하게 액세스할 수 있습니다. 이제 imc REMOTE SecureAccess를 통해 측정을 위한 장치를 안전하게 추가할 수 있습니다.

요구 사항

  • imc REMOTE SecureAccess 옵션은 추가 유상 구매가 필요한 기능입니다.
  • 시리얼 번호가 140000 번대 이상의 imc 장치만 지원됩니다.
  • 보안 https 액세스를 통한 전송에는 인증서가 필요하며 장비 구매시 발급됩니다. 이 인증서는 만료 기간이 있어 매년 갱신해야합니다. 만료 시간이 지나면 시스템은 인증서가 더 이상 유효하지 않다고 표시합니다. 인터넷 환경에 설정된 보안 수준에 따라 imc 장치에 대한 연결이 정상적이지 않을 수 있습니다. 이 경우 imc 핫라인과 IT 관리자에게 문의하십시오.

Experiment에서 특성 곡선 저장

Tool window의 Sensors의 Connected Sensors에 현재 사용되는 imc STUDIO 특성 곡선(characteristic curves)이 표시됩니다. 기존에 각각의 프로그램이 특성 곡선 정보가 없다면  다른 Experiment에서 사용할 수 없었습니다. 이제 User-defined characteristics 그룹에 드래그 앤 드롭을 사용하여 특성 곡선을 복사할 수 있습니다. 이후에는 해당 특성 곡선은 모든 Experiment에 표시되고 사용될 수 있습니다.

비밀번호 입력시 보안 강화

모든 암호는 더 이상 일반 텍스트로 표시되지 않습니다. 장비가 데이터를 저장할 때 네트워크 드라이브로 액세스하는 경우에 적용됩니다.

동작하지 않는 설정 숨기기

히스토그램의 경우 링 버퍼 메모리를 선택할 수 있었습니다. 히스토그램은 시간 정보가 포함되어 있지 않아 더 이상 표시되지 않습니다.

imc CANSAS 설정 변경 문제 수정

기존에는 imc CANSAS가 설치되지 않은 경우 imc CANSAS 구성을 CAN 메뉴에서 제거 할 수 없었습니다. 이제 5.2버전에서 새로 생성된 Experiment에서는 가능합니다. imc STUDIO 5.0 또는 이전 버전 Experiment에서는 여전히 불가능합니다.

3 imc Online FAMOS

imc Online FAMOS 에디터가 리뉴얼 되었습니다. imc Inline FAMOS Editor의 모든 기능이 포함되었습니다. 특히 편집기의 구문 도우미와 함수 입력 마법사 기능을 편리하게 사용할 수 있습니다. 이제 편집기에는 입력을 지원하는 스크립트 편집기의 모든 일반적인 기능을 사용 가능합니다. 예 : 텍스트를 입력하는 동안 제안 함수 표시

4 Panel, widgets and data browser

텍스트 위젯 - 더 넓은 입력 공간 제공

[Translate to South Korean:] Text-Widget - Mehr Platz für die Eingabe

기존에는 텍스트를 입력 할 공간이 충분하지 않았습니다. 텍스트 위젯의 크기가 고정되어 있었으며 스크롤 막대를 사용하면 입력이 더 어려웠습니다. 이제 마우스로 입력 필드를 확대 할 수 있습니다. 입력이 확인되면 입력창의 크기가 위젯에 다시 조정됩니다.

해당되는 위젯 : Automotive, Industrial and Designer - "Input, Output" > "Text"

Ein neuer Variablen-Typ ermöglicht die leichtere Einbindung von System- Informationen in dem Report

[Translate to South Korean:] Komplexe Variablen ermöglichen eine Baumstruktur innerhalb des Daten- Browsers

[Translate to South Korean:] Komplexe Variablen ermöglichen eine Baumstruktur innerhalb des Daten-Browsers. Folgende Variablen werden als Komplexe Variablen dargestellt:Gerätesystem-Variablen, Lokale Systeminformationen und Trigger. All diese Variablen besitzen verschiedene Informationen, die nun separat angezeigt werden und einfach per Drag&Drop auf das Panel gezogen werden können.

Improved working with the zoom in conjunction with adjusting the page size

The zoom factor is now deactivated when the Panel page is adjusted to the window size. Previously, the zoom was taken into account, with very diverse results.

5 Commands

Easier operation of "Load variable" and "Import variable"

Easier operation of "Load variable" and "Import variable"
In the upper area you will find an explorer for file selection:

The functions in the Data Browser and the associated commands "Load variable" and "Import variable" have been revised. (Background info: "Load" sets up the variable and "Import" writes a new value to existing variables)

As a result of this revision, file selection is faster.

Here, you can navigate to and select files by means of the familiar "Explorer"-functions. After selection, you can close the dialog with "OK". All selected data are loaded and selected for the Import command. This simplifies the operation method and makes it faster.

If you don't select any file in the Explorer, all importable files belonging to the current folder are automatically selected.

Below the file selection window, there is an input box for the folder path, which can be used as an alternative for specifying the file(s) desired. Here, you can enter placeholders or paths which only exist once the command is run.

Using the buttons near the right edge, you can, for example, expand the Variables area. You can also make additional settings such as

  • selecting/de-selecting files or variables by means of the checkbox For such cases, for instance, where not all variables belonging to a file are to be loaded.
  • adding additional elements. For the case where the variable only exists once at the command's runtime.

6 User-defined events

A better overview and more options for your application

A better overview and more options for your application

Combining two events with each other? This is now possible. You can now apply a variety of logical operators to your events. Thus you can now easily create compound events which previously were not possible.
Using the new Editor, you have an extensive overview of your events. No matter what their scope or type. All are displayed in one dialog and can be set and edited directly.

7 Firmware and new hardware

This imc STUDIO version has been released along with the following versions of the firmware (imc DEVICES).

Firmware 2.10(R2)

Synchronization and supported firmware

The synchronization between PC-components and the devices has been improved

The PC virtual clock's (VRTC) adjustment algorithm has been revised; in consequence the synchronization  of PC components to the device clocks is more precise. This applies to Video or 3rd-party devices, for example. The new VRTC only works in conjunction with appropriate firmware versions: 2.10 or higher. For this reason, it is not possible to use older firmware versions. Devices of Group 5 and higher (as of serial number 140000) support the new synchronization precision level. With older devices, there is no change.
This change does not affect synchronization between devices, but only between the PC-components and the device.

Note: Older firmware versions are no longer supported

imc STUDIO 5.2 only works with firmware as of Version 2.10.

Data storage on device

Minimizing data volume requirements on the device hard drive by means of compression

For certain channel types, it is possible to reduce the disk space requirements (file format: "imc FAMOS ZIP"). In the background, the file size is minimized by means of zip-compression. The result depends accordingly on the nature of the signal.

Data compression of the following channel type is newly introduced:

  • digital input-ports

In total, data compression is thus available for the following channel types:

  • analog/digital field-bus channels
  • log channels of the CAN-Field-bus
  • digital input-ports

Hardware

imc SPARTAN/LVDT16

The new amplifier imc SPARTAN/LVDT16 is now supported. The amplifier is specially designed for LVDT measurements (Schaevitz coils according to the transformer principle and inductive half bridges).

GPS

GPS channels can now be renamed. Thus, the name can be selected to match the application.

TEDS

When reading in the channel settings from TEDS, the sampling rate is no longer accepted. If more than two different sampling rates were read in via TEDS, this led to aborting in the past.

Field-bus

CAN-Assistent

  • Import and export via CBA file can now be executed individually for each node.
  • It is now possible to convert a "send message" into a "receive message" or vice versa. "Edit" menu of the CAN Assistant: "Transform messages".

ARINC-Assistent

  • Reception of BCD labels is now possible in reverse order.
  • BNR and BCD can now be defined by factor and offset.

FlexRay

  • The FlexRay-log channel can now be decoded by imc STUDIO during the measurement. Decoding after the measurement by imc FAMOS is possible.
  • UpdateBits are now supported: PduUpdateBits and SignalUpdateBits.

Update Notes

By adding the FrameDescriptionBlob, it is possible that previously created FlexRay configurations show an "Error in the cluster...". In this case, the value "{ResultName}_Fdb" must be entered in the FlexRayCluster properties under "Construction rule for channel names in the FrameDescriptionBlob".

Update notes FlexRay

8 Installation

Silent product installation with pre-made configuration

To obtain uniform installation on multiple computers, the Setup program can be pre-configured. Subsequently, the installation is performed without interruption or any need to make additional entries. Toward this end, the configuration is saved in prepared ini-files. The configuration is imported from these files and applied.

You can generate the ini-files automatically. For more information on this topic, see the user's manual: "Setting Up" > "Information and Tips" > "Unattended Installation - Silent Installation".

9 Miscellaneous optimization

Alongside fault removal, the following important improvements have also been implemented:

 

AreaDescription
SequencerLogbook entries from the Sequencer were not hidden. Information entries in the logbook which were attributable to the Sequencer were not always correctly assigned the category "Information" and were not hidden for that reason.
Installation and
product configuration
  • The component "imc STUDIO Automation Engine" always needed to be activated first for the purpose of Runtime functions. Now it is active by default in all Editions, just like all other "Engine"-components.
  • Subsequent correction of the product configuration is no longer necessary. In the process of installing imc STUDIO Monitor, the product configuration was not always configured correctly. For the "Developer" Edition, the Widgets and the Sequencer were not activated.
  • Uninstalling "imc Documents" - On some computers, the process of uninstalling "imc Documents" froze and was not concluded properly.
Project managementThe project management dialogs now filter out "non-matching" projects. These include, for instance, the dialogs "Save As", "Manage Project" and "Open Experiment ". "Non-matching" projects can refer to the imc STUDIO projects for imc WAVE, and vice versa. Use of the same database is now possible, but not recommended.
Setup and device controlWith the strain gauge measurement range, the superfluous sign, e.g., "± -770000 μeps" is now omitted. Now, the readout is correctly "± 770000 μeps".
Panel and Widgets
  • Fitting the page size of tiled pages -  Errors in the fitting of the page size have been resolved. There had been problems with tiled pages, which were also even magnified.
  • Multiple copied Widgets are now inserted with slight indenting, so that they are not all placed on top of each other.
  • Widget: "Table" - Text-zones - For text-zones, it had been possible to set ranges, which caused undesired effects. Text-zones now no longer have any ranges.
  • Widget: "DIO" - If the Widget was linked with a user-defined variable, then one CPU core was at full capacity if the variable had the value "0".
  • Widget: "Image" - Using the setting "Center image" caused the image to become fuzzy when copied and changed its position.
Data Browser
  • If the "Measurement settings" associated with a measurement are loaded from the Data Browser, a complete experiment is loaded. When you click on "Save", there is a prompt for confirmation that you intend to overwrite the current experiment, since it represents an older state of  the experiment. However, this prompt did not appear when the user saved upon exiting imc STUDIO.
  • The variables-functions (Export/Import/Load) via the Data Browser always needed to have their settings made from the beginning. Now, when the function is called the next time, the system automatically targets the most recent path. Other settings also remain in force so that they do not need to be reset each time.
CommandsCommands: "Import/Export parameter set", "Import/Export/Load variables" and "Import/Export Panel page". The placeholders "SETUP" and "MEASUREMENT" were previously not available.
Scripting
  • In the Scripting, the Panel-API-functions "ShowPage" and "HidePage" did not work.
  • Linking the curve window with variables by means of a measurement number or a fixed name could not be reversed via script.
  • In the script restoration dialog, the question was no longer visible when the script names were long.
  • When a script was exported as a DLL, no external resources were exported along with it. (Precondition: "Local copy = true").
  • When an Event-script was created with the storage scope "Project", it still had the storage scope "Experiment".
imc Inline FAMOSThe function "RSFlipFlop" did not work.
Powertrain MonitoringIn the case of very many measurements of large size, it was occasionally not possible to lead the measurements.
