Frequently Asked Questions - All FAQs

GUI enhancements:

   -) The "new device function" has been strongly enhanced by the insertion of a new window ("Wizard new device") that simplifies the creation process:

   -) Added two new buttons on the toolbar of the program. These buttons let the user navigate both back and forward the code of the opened VT3 project:

    -) Now it is possible to enable or disable automatic loading of the last VT3 Project at the next startup of the program:

    -) Added new feature: CAN-BUS messages can be defined under folders.

    -) The IO_CFG graphical interface has been improved.

    -) Added console "transcript" and "locator".

    -) Now it is possible to Import/Export data using the Microsoft Excel format. This functionality is available on CAN message (both import/export), IO_CFG (both import/export) and global data (only export).

    -) Added two new properties, "Hide" and "Locked", for all VT3 indicators in the VT3 project. These properties are available only during the design time mode.

    -) Added two new functions in the context menu:

       - "Vertical Alignment" and "Horizontal Alignment": let the user align vertically or horizontaly selected objects.

       - "Group / ungroup" functions: let the user to logically group multiple items inserted on the form.

    -) Now the user is warned by a message when he tries to connect unplugged or not properly installed USB-Dongle PEAK into the USB socket.

    -) Other new features:

Improvement of the automatic check of a manual change of the VT3 project file:
    Now the VT3 program automatically detects if it is necessary to recompile the project.

Debugging with some not connected devices:
    Now it's possible to start the debug session (on-line mode), even when some devices defined in the project are not present on the CAN-BUS line.

Dynamically change of the COB-ID of a CAN-BUS message:
    Two new functions have been added that let the user change the COB-ID parameter of a CAN-BUS message, both during the reception and the transmission process.
    This functionality is also implemented using the MUX messages (more messages with the same COB ID).
    NOTE: This functionality is not supported by the HC08 and MPC platforms.

Added a new function (REMOTE_DEVICE_STATUS) that can be used to check if a device is present on the CAN-BUS line:
    The REMOTE_DEVICE_STATUS function is used to retrieve the status of a device connected on the CAN-BUS line.
    NOTE: the use of this procedure is strongly recommended before calling functions such as REMOTE_READ or REMOTE_WRITE.

Asynchronous sending of a CAN message:
   The call of the function vt3_can_trigger_message_name = TRUE works even when transmit rate of a VT3 CAN Message is not 0 (zero).

Memory occupation (this function is available only for devices using the HC12 processor):
    Now it is possible to visualize the total memory occupation (shown in percentage) divided in: RAM, EEPROM and FLASH. This indicator has been added in the     "transcript" text box and it is updated during the compilation process.

Execution time of tasks:
    During the online mode, the Task table displays the actual execution time of each task, including system tasks (video management and CAN-BUS).
   A variable named "vt3_task_run_time_<taskname>" is generated for each task defined in the Task table.
   NOTE: Not implemented using the MPC architecture.

Improvement on the use of "Translation Table" in a VT3 Project:
   A new column for each device (with small size of memory) defined in the project is automatically added to the translation table. The user can check which string is specific for the device in order to limit the memory occupation.
   NOTE: This column also affects the import / export functionality in Excel format.

Memory class in library:
    Now into VT3 library you can assign for variables located into global_data a value in the "Address" field (eg: %P,%M or %R).

J1939 database update:
    The messages in the J1939 databases have been updated.
    IMPORTANT NOTE: Starting from version 7 the backwards compatibility with ENUM_001, ENUM_002, etc. is not supported.

Added new external program for drawing the background of a circular gauge:
    This tool automatically generates a professional image containing a gauge with scales, needles, markers with a complete set of customizable parameters (colors, fonts, length, tickness, offset, etc...)

Alias ​​I/O variables and CAN:
    Added the possibility to define alias for I/O and CAN-BUS messages

Record saving filter event log:
    Now it's possible to choose which transitions of the alarm you want to records in the EventLog. The selection is available for each alarm in alarm_table and differentiated for each event log.

LIB_VT3:
    PC_TARGET_Lib: library obsolete, replaced L3B6 rented from the library to the installation directory in VT3: ".. \ src \ resources \ library \ PC_TARGET_Lib".

DEVICE:

    SLAVE:

       -) Added these slave devices: IO_CORE, IO_EXT, KEYPAD, AMU CBO.

       -) Added a sample project in the ".. \ resources \ examples \ Features \ SLAVE \ AMU_Example" folder.


    TERA-EOLOADER with USB:

       -) Added documentation: "..\resources\documents\eoloader_tera_manual" or pressing the VT3 button: "manual" -> "eoloader tera-manual").

       -) An example of usage can be found at : "..\resources\eoloader_tera" or pressing the VT3 button: "tera-eoloader configuration".




    DASHBOARD_MOTO:

       -) Updated target and renamed "Truckontrol".

          To open an old project developed for the target "Dashboard_Moto_TFT" follow the steps below:

             -) Open the property.txt files from the project folder: "<VT3_PROJECT_NAME> \ project \ <DEVICE_DASHBOARD_MOTO> \ property.txt"

             -) Search this line of code: DEVICE_MODEL = 'Dashboard_Moto_TFT'

             -) Replace with this line of code: DEVICE_MODEL = 'Truckontrol'


    PC_TARGET:

       -) Added two new indicators: TABLE_CSV and Winscope;

       -) Added new L3B6 library.

       -) Added a sample project of L3B6 library located at: ".. \ resources \ examples \ Features \ PC_WINDOWS \ TARGET_PC_L3B6";

       -) Dynamic resizing of the indicators when resize window in runtime mode ;


    TERA_QT:

       -) Added new custom indicator "ISOBUS_TC" and updated "ISOBUS_VT" indicator;

Warning !
Make a backup copy of your project before open it with VT3 5 version.
Using the new VT3 5 features, the project could become incompatible with VT3 version 4.

Derived from VT3 4.6.2.5, the VT3 version 5 brings inprovements a lot of new features:

• Resources optimizations
• New inputs/outputs indicators

To reduce RAM memory usage, some graphical indicators properties have been placed in ROM intead of RAM.
The indicator structure has changed, if you are referring to a property in this way:

int trash_width = ind_screen1_mb_trash.width;

Now you have to change your code in this way:

int trash_width = ind_screen1_mb_trash.rom->width;

To reduce RAM memory usage, only the variables rapresenting the current screen and his indicators are available at runtime.
Due to this implementation, now is not allowed referring to a screen or indicators from a different screen.
For example, in screen1 is not possible referring to and indicator of screen2:

(screen 1 indicator event)
{
    ind_screen2_mb_movement.x = 0;    // error !
}

New input indicators implemented are:

• Text input
• Numeric input
• Menu
• Virtual button

New output indicators implemented are:

• Data grid
• Simple text multiline

Input and output indicators can be used only where display resources (screen resolution, physical keys, touchscreen) are suitable for manage indicators features.
For new indicator usage, take a look at VT3 documentation.

Some useful examples can be found in <vt3 installation folder>\resources\examples, from which indicator implementation can be copied and pasted into another project (e.g. the TERA on_screen keyboard)

TERA_Lib (\<vt3 installation folder\resources\library\TERA_Lib) has been also updated with POU's to initialize %P and %R memory varibles.

• In this release the new TERA4 has been added (under development, for demo purpose only).

• Single gauge ALGA_TFT (1_1, 1_2, 2_1 models) driver upgrade.

• In this release the new TERA7-vertical has been added.

Maintenance release, it brings some bug fixes:

1. - VIEW2/VIEW512 SD-HC card compatibility
2. - removed unused IO_CFG pin status (GD_STATUS_PIN_IO)
3. - issues using STRING and SimpleText indicator in ALGA devices

• Device library (<vt3 installation folder>\resources\library) have been updated introducing the <IO_variable>_status values and descriptions.

• (<IO_variable>_status variables are those automatically generated from VT3 when in IO_CFG the I/O is defined with diagnostic mode <IO_mode>_D).

• Integrated new CANVIEW3 device (under development).

The following issues have been fixed:

1. - TERA family internal relè 'flickering' when KEY is switched off
2. - TERA family build error "error: variable xxxx has wrong size (expected 4 bytes)" with 'temp' REAL variable
3. - VT3 debugger error "CAN error: function 'SetWatchList' , 'NACK: [10, 1, 42, 1]' , CAN-bus disconnected" with MIDAC+ and LE70 devices
4. - issue re-importing a font already present in project
5. - extended CAN messages not received by the device with CAN-id < 0x7FF
6. - build warning "WARNING C1805: Non standard conversion used" with MIDAC+ devices
7. - VT3 debugger error "NameError: global name 'retDate' is not defined" reading an invalid DATE_AND_TIME from the device
8. - build error "SCons timeout " on slow PC

New features are:

• Remote_IO library: it's a library of preconfigured CAN messages to manage (configure, read an write) AMU CBL, AMU CBP-CBS, AMU CBO, IOEXT2 devices; see <vt3 installation folder>/resources/library/Remote_IO.vt3
• new WRITE_EL_TO_SD and WRITE_EL_TO_USB POUs (where SD reader or USB connection are available) to save event-log in binary format to SD/USB on the device; written binary file can be read with ElogViewer tool on a PC; this functions are available in device specifics library in <vt3 installation folder>/resources/library
• new TERA-runtime compatible with fast boot TERA devices

Very important note
From this release, if you rebuild a VIEW2 or VIEW512 project created with a previous VT3 version, after the upload to the device, 
date and time must be set on VIEW2 and VIEW512 display device with SET_CURRENT_DATE_AND_TIME

• New device target CLS2LE

Bugfix:

1. data block variables initialization issue
2. PCAN Explorer CAN messages export issue with comments with characters like òéìù....

From this release is also available a VT3 setup including TERA devices toolchain (vt3_setup_n.n.n.n_TERA_toolchain.exe).

New TERA library to manage power fail (<VT3 installation path>/resources/library/TERA_Lib)
- GET_POWER_FAIL
- SET_POWER_FAIL_SHUTDOWN
- SHUTDOWN

• Added a DM1 j1939 decode example in J1939 library (<VT3 installation path>/resources/library/J1939)
• Now is possible switch on/off TERA6/TERA7 keys backlight (see keys_backlight on screen_frame)
• All unicode chars are accepted in comments in all languages

Bugfix:

1.  wrong variables type declared in IO_CFG with mode xxxxx_TIMERIN  (from this version, the variables type is changed from UINT to DINT);
2. changes made in the following devices: ALGA_TFT models, CLS06, CLS2 models, I_TOP, VIEW models
3. J1939 DM1 message not received with dlc <= 8, and not received with dlc > 8 on CAN port > 0
4. unicode fonts issue in translation table

This release includes support for new devices VIEW512 and CLS2_LMI (CLS2_LMI is under development).

Now is possible using elements of array of STRING and STRING fields of struct in SimpleText indicator.
CAN line renaming automatically adjusts all CAN interfaces references.

Most important bugfix:
- LE70: wrong current feedback value in PWM outputs

• This release includes support for new devices TERA8-portrait, TERA7 and LE70.
• New language constant LANGUAGE_<language name> can be assigned to vt3_language global variable.
• The checkbox 'start device when done' upload option mantains the state across sessions.
• The vt3_error_EL_<event log name> variable has become an INT variable (see EL_ERR_xxxx error codes).
• The CLS35 programmable device has been renamed to CLS2 (nothing you have to do in your project).

Most important bugfix:

1. "the application seems to freeze at startup on TERA devices"
2. TERA6 screen flickering
3. event-log download error from MIDAC+ devices

This is a maintenance release with bug fixes.

The most important bugs-fix are:

• "screen_frame events written in ST language are not saved"
• "problems during vt3-library creation"

Moreover,
the tree-project icons are restored to the original size (prior 4.5.0.0 version) and 
some device specifc library are available in <vt3 path>\resources\library

In addition to many bug-fixes, this release introduces the following new implementations:

• j1939.vt3 project has been moved from <vt3 installation path>\resources\example to <vt3 installation path>\resources\library folder

• CodeSys project POUs import

• new functions ALM_seek_local_AGUID, ALM_seek_local_SPN_FMI to retrieve the alarm index in order to set/get the alarm status programmatically (other function are also available; take a look to the manual)

• now the alarm inhibitions are local and indipendent to the device

• TERA6 buzzer managed by screen_frame (you have to remove all SetBuzzer function calls from your application)

• some user interface changes

Also we suggest you :

• replace the vt3_can_set_rx_callback function calls with the CAN callback management (see "Receive callback functions" in the manual)
• port your application from 'MC2M_Master' to 'MC2M_2CPU'

First refer to News "VT3 release 3.2.0.0 has been released ".

Very important notes:

In order to enable this VT3 version, the USB-license dongle (iKey1000) should be reconfigured with the VT3_Activation tool.

VT3_Activation tool needs Microsoft NET Framework and an internet connection.

tool is available for download from http://www.vt3-tool.com, Downloads section -> VT3 Customer -> Tools

Only for TERA6/12 devices

Applications developed with this VT3 version require a can_daemon upgrade to 1.9.1 version (can_daemon is the VT3 bootloader).

The upgraded devices will become incompatible with the applications developed with previous VT3 versions.

In this case, simply rebuild the project with this VT3 release.

At the first upload, VT3 will automatically update the can_daemon and reboot the TERA device.

Whereas VT3 is not available for upload the device, the can_daemon upgrade can be done withWinLoaderTera.

Run WinLoaderTera, select the unit, press upgrade and select tera_can_daemon_upg-0.9.1.zip file.
