ADEPT 10.1.5

rtx Server Runtime Changes in 10.1.5

• The Connect/Disconnect button has been removed from the AdiEventLog Connection page toolbars. If a connection to the specified Server/Port cannot be established or is lost, the Connection page will automatically begin trying to create the connection, with periodic status messages displayed.

The installation package transfers a tar file and script to your rtx server. Log on to each of your rtx servers as root. Run the script appropriate to your server architecture:

ARM A15 32-bit LinuxRT	/home/adi/installrtxLinuxRT_arm-a15_10.1.5.sh
ARM A8 32-bit LinuxRT	/home/adi/installrtxLinuxRT_arm-a8_10.1.5.sh
ARM V8 64-bit LinuxRT	/home/adi/installrtxLinuxRT_arm-v8-64_10.1.5.sh
x86-64 64-bit LinuxRT	/home/adi/installrtxLinuxRT_x86-64_10.1.5.sh
x86 32-bit QNX	/home/adi/installrtxQNX_x86_10.1.5.sh

Make sure that the script echoes "Installing 10.1.5", to verify that it is the current installation script.

If it does not echo "Installing 10.1.5", manually update your rtx server. Follow the steps given in the System Administration Guide for your rtx server OS and architecture:

• LinuxRT ARM
• LinuxRT x86-64
• QNX x86

General Changes in 10.1.5

• MATLAB 2021b is supported in ADEPT.


• In addition to improved error messaging for disk space requirements, the Linux client installer now allows the setup executable to have a command line argument specifying a folder to unpack into and continue the install from. e.g.,
  $./ADEPT_10.1.5_LinuxX86_64_Install.out /path_to_temp_unpack_dir/directory_name
  This is needed on cybersecure systems where /tmp does not allow executable files, or if /tmp does not have enough free space and cannot be adequately expanded.


• The running of GP projects on Linux has been modified to no longer use the /tmp folder, as in some installations, execution from /tmp is not allowed. ADEPT now uses the $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR environment variable to determine the location to perform local execution.


• If an ADEPT application receives an incoming TCP/IP command (from an external application) to execute a Python command, the specified Python command is now immediately executed even if a Python script is currently executing in the ADEPT tool. Previously, the incoming Python command would be added to a queue to be processed when the currenrtly running script finishes.


• An alternative version of DialogShow for custom dialogs, called CommandDialogShow, has been added. Instead of executing the specified command when Ok is pressed, the function will return the generated Python command string, which then may be executed using the eval() command in your custom code. Using this version with a custom dialog enables the ability to abort the command execution by pressing the command-line Stop button.

ADEPT DB Changes in 10.1.5

• A new toolbar button has been added to Tabular View and Composite Tabular View for exporting the contents of the displayed grid to a user specified CSV file.


• OPC UA signals with dimension greater than 1 are now supported in ADEPT-DB.

ADEPT DE Changes in 10.1.5

• Load performance improvements:
  
  • ADEPT DE load time is approximately 25% faster than previous releases.
  
  
  • Large dictionaries now load 30x faster in the ADEPT DE dictionary editor.


• Improvements made to the Manage Server Security Messages dialog for clarity of use.

ADEPT GD Changes in 10.1.5

• adv.Set() boolean options for adv.SystemClearOnSetupLoad and adv.SystemDisplayActionViewsOnLoad have been added to ADEPT-GD scripting for those System Preferences options.

ADEPT VI Changes in 10.1.5

• Uploading of Playback Schedule items during a Go or UpdateSetup has been modified to improve performance. All generated playback files are now compressed into a single TAR file, which is then uploaded to the server playback folder and uncompressed. Performance has been significantly improved when using large numbers of playback items.


• A new mechanism has been created to improve performance when executing a large number of Put commands within a block of script code. Use the new adv.Set(adv.BatchPutMode, flag) before and after a large block of Put commands to drastically improve script execution performance.


• Improved performance executing array Put commands.


• ADEPT-VI performance on Linux GP during load and run has been improved for projects with Panels that include 3D Object components.


• To reduce the size of the Model Dictionary, some global "simple" data from the model source code will be excluded from the Dictionary and will therefore not appear in the Data Browser. Additionally, global "structure" data will also no longer be included in the Model Dictionary and therefore not displayed. However, through the use of User Groups and User Variables, access to these non-Dictionary variables can be obtained.


• In ADEPT-VI, when a Project Faults, the Project's Dashboard line display turns red. However, if an ADEPT Panel or some other top-level notebook tab is visible, the Project Dashboard line may not be visible. Now, when a Project Faults, the top-level Project notebook tab's text will display in red, alerting the user to the condition.


• Handling of server messages from within ADEPT-VI has changed. The option to display a separate Server Messages notebook tab has been removed. A new System Preference has been added to allow the user to define if Server messages are displayed in the Project Messages tab, System Messages tab, neither, or both. The separate AdiEventLog application is still available as another way to display Server messages.


• File validation has been added to the DictionaryLoad() Python function, which is used to manually load external dictionary files.


• To improve support for 64bit data types, the Override Info structure used by the TCP/IP library interface has changed. Whereas the override and current values used to be doubles, these values now use the tAdiExportValue structure which allows for specific data types and range checking. Any scripts or custom applications using adiViProjectGetOverrideInfo or adiViProjectSetOverrideInfo should be modified to account for the change to the Override Info structure parameter.


• New ADEPT-VI System Preferences:
  
  • Custom Error Log Python Function has been created to optionally specify a user-defined "Error Log" Python function to call. This can be used for custom handling of error messages. Note that Python syntax or other errors are not sent to this custom function, only system errors.
  
  
  • Block/Echo Data Display has been added to improve handling of data display. This option is used in conjunction with the existing adv.DisplayData Python variable to allow or block display of some types of information.


• Response time when generating search results for the Data Browser Find functionality has greatly improved.

ADEPT Panel Changes in 10.1.5

• When using a panel button from a detached panel window to open another panel in the same window, the detached window will get resized to match the new panel contents.


• All user input components in ADEPT Panels now support the Allow User Control property, which can be used to disable user input in order to use the component as an indicator only.


• The name of the Multi-State Readout component has been changed to Value Display / Multi-State Indicator to clarify its use. Besides being used to identify a state dependent on evaluations of variables, the component may also be used to simply display a variable value.

Device Software Changes in 10.1.5

• Support for the NA75G5 4 Multispeed Resolver board.


• OPC UA logical device statistics for read and write counts are updated and displayed when the ADEPT-VI device browser is in enhanced-mode.

Documentation Changes in 10.1.5

• The ADEPT 10.1 Install Manual includes information on a new, optional command line argument for the Linux client installer.


• Documentation for adv.rpt*** Python functions has been removed from the Help viewer, as these functions have been replaced by the reportdoc Python module. Help documentation for the Report Module in ADEPT-GD scripting and in ADEPT-VI scripting now directs the user to a reportdoc usage manual, which must be viewed in a web browser.

ADEPT 10.1.4

rtx Server Runtime Changes in 10.1.4

• Enhancements to support reattaching to an autorun project, enabling autorun projects to be handled similar to "Detach Stay Running".


• Server password management capabilities included.


• DAS will start running with no issue after the trigger is fired when the trigger is assigned to the DAS stream before Go is hit.


• Instructions for updating servers have been updated in readme file.

The installation package transfers a tar file and script to your rtx server. Log on to each of your rtx servers as root. Run the script appropriate to your server architecture:

ARM A15 32-bit LinuxRT	/home/adi/installrtxLinuxRT_arm-a15_10.1.4.sh
ARM A8 32-bit LinuxRT	/home/adi/installrtxLinuxRT_arm-a8_10.1.4.sh
ARM V8 64-bit LinuxRT	/home/adi/installrtxLinuxRT_arm-v8-64_10.1.4.sh
x86-64 64-bit LinuxRT	/home/adi/installrtxLinuxRT_x86-64_10.1.4.sh

In order for the Simulink RTW build to regenerate the ADEPT dictionary file with the updated display format default values, the RTW build must be forced to run. One way to accomplish this is to manually delete the two Simulink generated sub-folders under the main model folder. It may also be necessary to remove the cache file "modelName.slx.c" from the base model folder. Then perform the RTW build as usual.

ADEPT 10.1.0

Runtime Changes in 10.1.0

• On rtx servers running the QNX operating system, the ssh daemon now starts by default.


• The pcispy utility is now available on x86-64 Linux rtx servers.


• sudo now comes pre-installed on all new LinuxRT x86-64 rtx servers.

The installation package transfers a tar file and script to your rtx server. Log on to each of your rtx servers as root. Run the script appropriate to your server architecture:

ARM A15 32-bit LinuxRT	/home/adi/installrtxLinuxRT_arm-a15_10.1.0.sh
ARM A8 32-bit LinuxRT	/home/adi/installrtxLinuxRT_arm-a8_10.1.0.sh
ARM V8 64-bit LinuxRT	/home/adi/installrtxLinuxRT_arm-v8-64_10.1.0.sh
x86-64 64-bit LinuxRT	/home/adi/installrtxLinuxRT_x86-64_10.1.0.sh
x86 32-bit QNX	/home/adi/installrtxQNX_x86_10.1.0.sh

Make sure that the script echoes "Installing 10.1.0", to verify that it is the current installation script.

If it does not echo "Installing 10.1.0", manually update your rtx server. Follow the steps given in the System Administration Guide for your rtx server OS and architecture:

• LinuxRT ARM
• LinuxRT x86-64
• QNX x86

General Changes in 10.1.0

• ADEPT help is now available as a tab within ADEPT tools. When you open the documentation from the ribbon bar or by pressing F1, a tab opens in the View Notebook. Help is also available in a standalone tool by selecting Help from the ADEPT folder on the Start Menu or Desktop.


• ADEPT panels have been improved, using the Cairo graphics library rather than wxWidgets graphics.


• The license daemon now identifies clients by hostname as well as by IP address. This allows it to properly identify clients with multiple NICs that potentially connect with multiple IP addresses.


• The location of the license daemon log file has been changed.


• Previously, the license daemon failed to properly release ADEPT-VI tokens when ADEPT-VI was closed.


• The das_logging token is no longer required in your ADEPT license.


• The DUIconnectDas function has been eliminated. Use the DUIconnectDasByPort function to connect to a live DAS.


• Prototypes for rtl_do_user_hw_input_group and rtl_do_user_hw_output_group are now in ADV_HOME/include/rtl_device.h.


• The compiler for LinuxRT x86-64 rtx and localhost servers has been upgraded from 4.9.1 to 6.5.0. On Linux, the compiler now uses headers and shared-object libraries that are provided with the compiler rather than the client PC system headers and libraries. (On Windows, the headers and shared-object libraries have always been provided.)


• The DAS stream limit has been changed from 2048 to 20000 items.


• The GNU Scientific Library routines are now available for use with ADEPT projects.


• A new ADI runtime variable is available: ADI_FRAMEWORK_ELAPSED_TIME. It provides the elapsed time of the primary model to other distributed models, in case they become out of synchronization due to overrun.


• The naming of ADI-supplied libraries has been standardized to libidentifier.a. (Some third-party libraries might observe a slightly different naming convention.) ADEPT.adv_cfg has been updated to use the renamed libraries, so this change should be invisible to you.


• The Python script editor view toolbar now has a stop/cancel button.


• When communication between the license daemon and a client tool is interrupted, the tool will continue running.

ADEPT-DB Changes in 10.1.0

• Previously, ARINC-429 transmit messages with SDI set to "All" wrote to non-SDI data bits.


• ADEPT-DB now clears the ARINC-429 Burst fields if the Burst Name is cleared.


• In accordance with changes at the Modbus Organization, the nomenclature master/slave has been replaced with client/server.


• New and changed Python objects:
• adv.SortChannelsByNumber
• The function that returns the name of the project folder now returns the absolute path rather than the relative path.

ADEPT-DE Changes in 10.1.0

• ADEPT-DE now adds the .fmu file as a data file to a FMI/FMU model assembly so that the .fmu file will be copied to the rtx server and be available to the model code.


• ADEPT-DE now informs you when it is finished updating the server software.


• New and changed Python objects:
• adv.ServerArchArmV8_64


• ADEPT-DE now adds ADV_CUSTOM_DIR to the include path.
<-- SPR 12957 ->

ADEPT-GD Changes in 10.1.0

• Previously, upon loading an invalid CSV file, ADEPT-GD crashed.
• Action views now work properly with multiple data sources (as, for example, from two projects in a distributed framework).


• Use of the scrollbar to navigate a paused dynamic dataset has been improved.


• The Network Diary is now available on the ribbon only if your license file contains a token for the feature.


• New and changed Python objects:
• A Python module for report generation
• adv.GetConnectViList()

ADEPT-VI Changes in 10.1.0

• Handling of the files loaded onto the server for a playback schedule has been improved.


• The default trigger logic for DAS streams has been changed to True.


• A system preference to disable auto-save of the project workspace has been added.


• You are now prompted only once to reset the servers in a distributed framework after an improper halt of the previous run.


• ADEPT-VI now enforces the data dictionary Control Schedulable property. Variables that do not have this property set cannot be used in a schedule. As a result of this, ADEPT-DE now generates the Control entry to be Tunable|Schedulable for ADSIM variables whose Write Access property is not Read Only.


• Test Executive panel performance has been improved.


• It is now possible to initialize variables in an auto-run project by setting variable values (for example, ADI_END_TIME) in ADEPT-VI.


• Previously, ADEPT-VI would sometimes crash when performing certain GUI operations (notably with schedules and overrides).


• ADEPT-VI now informs you when it is finished updating the server software.


• The TCP/IP interface to ADEPT-VI was returning fixed-point values as longs.


• The ADI_TRIGGERS runtime variable is now tunable, so it can be set by an ADEPT panel control.


• The Network Diary and Test Executive are now available on the ribbon only if your license file contains a token for the feature.


• New and changed Python objects:
• adv.ServerArchArmV8_64
• Performance of scripted overrides has been improved. The OverrideAdd and OverrideDelete functions now have variants that accept a list of overrides and add/delete them in one operation.
• If the models in multi-project framework (for example, in a distributed framework) have different names, when you provide a fully scoped model variable name, ADEPT-VI finds it even if the active project does not contain that model variable.
• The output of adv.OverrideList now displays the override mode (Pre or Post).
• A Python module for report generation
• adv.OverrideReplace has been changed to adv.Set(adv.OverrideValue, varName, value).
• adv.OverrideActivate has been changed to adv.Set(adv.OverrideActive, varName, activeFlag).
• Override mode can now be set with adv.Set(adv.OverrideNode, varName, mode).


• The sine and square waveforms now end at the last half-cycle within the runtime. The end time is converted to the number of half-cycles and the waveform is truncated after the last half cycle.


• For the periodic waveforms (sawtooth, sine, square, and triangle), when the Phase Shift Offset is set to Target +, the waveform uses the relative position of the target variable within the wave as the phase shift (rather than the raw value of the target variable). This makes the waveform continuous from the current target variable.

Device Software Changes in 10.1.0

• Support for compound logical devices has been added.


• The General Standards cPCI66-16CLI8CL04-4-R250 (ADI part number A200A0830) is now supported on x86-64 rtx servers running LinuxRT and on x86 rtx servers running QNX.


• Previously, with adi_modbus_tcpip_DB, requesting large register data would crash the system socket connection.


• A null low-level device driver is available. This driver can be used to write a logical device driver when there is no I/O hardware, such as with a localhost server.


• The adi_na75g5_12sd has these changes:
  
  • A new application parameter for setting the bandwidth
  • The sd_bit_status port is now a 16-bit integer, where each bit corresponds to a channel
  • New ports: sd_sig_status (signal loss status) and sd_ref_status (reference loss status)
  • The BIT test sequence now triggers only every 2 seconds


• The device driver for the TPMC851-10R board now uses manufacturer-supplied calibration functions to improve the accuracy of values provided by the board. The logical device drivers now also have the ability to use function and calibration files.


• The P2P board did not work for ACE-REU to REU communication.


• Previously, SCRAMNet distributed and regular SCRAMNet reflective memory did not work together in the same project.


• In accordance with changes at the Modbus Organization, the nomenclature master/slave has been replaced with client/server.


• The read_mode application parameter was removed from the adi_ni6220 logical device because it was unused by the logical device driver.

Documentation Changes in 10.1.0

• Because the Matlab R2010b toolbox has been obsoleted, the example Matlab model files are now provided .slx format.


• It is now possible for you to extend the ADEPT documentation with your own content.

Simulink Toolbox Changes in 10.1.0

• Matlab R2020b is supported with a new toolbox version. See Toolbox Configuration for information on setting ADV_MATLAB_VER to use the new toolbox.
