Release Note
Motion Console

Reference Number: 1256

Description:
Access has been added to MEIMotorConfig.Encoder.filterDisable.
"Primary Encoder Filter" and "Secondary Encoder Filter" fields were added to the Motor Summary, Configuration tab.

Reference Number: 1247

Description:
"Action Source" was added to the Motion Supervisor Summary, Status tab.

Reference Number: 1244

Description:
For objects that have user labels, the label is now displayed regardless of which tab is selected and is also visible when the user label row is scrolled off the screen.

Description:
The Motor I/O type "Source 9" has been changed to "Disabled Output."

Description:
Made necessary changes to accommodate the new Motor Demand Mode, MEIMotorDemandModeCUSTOM. Added "Custom" to the combo-box for the Demand Mode row on the Motor/Config tab.

Description:
When a Motor I/O bit is called, Motion Console called mpiMotorConfigSet(...), as well as mpiMotorGeneralOutSet(...). The call to mpiMotorConfigSet(...) significantly slowed down the setting of the value. Tto optimize the setting of Motor I/O, mpiMotorConfigSet(...) is no longer called.

Description:
If a node died, Motion Console would not refresh the values of several members of the MEISqNodeStatus structure. The members not being refreshed were: crcError, upStreamError and downStreamError. Changes have been made so that Motion Console will display the values returned by meiSqNodeStatus whether or not the node is dead.

Description:
If a summary window displayed children of multiple controllers, then the column header would display a large space between the object name and the controller name. The controller name was not completely visible. This problem was fixed.

Description:
There are many cases where an object name is displayed, but it is not the User Label. The name that is being displayed is the default name. In the case of the controller, the default name is the name that the controller was given when it was added by the user. For other objects, the default name is the object type followed by a number. The default name should only be displayed if the User Label is empty. If the User Label of an object changes, then windows that are open and displaying the object name need to be refreshed to display the new name.

Examples where object names are displayed:
Object Explorer
   - including the image of an object being dragged
Summary Window Titles
   - the controller name is displayed
Summary Window Column Labels
   - the controller name is displayed if children of multiple controllers are being displayed
Object List Configuration Dialog Box

The correct names are now displayed.

Description:
Motion Console crashed if you select an Axis in the Object Explorer window and then set the Axis Count in the Control Summary. A crash of Motion Console could be be provoked by forcing any object to be destroyed while it is selected in the Object Explorer window, including Node and I/O objects. This problem was fixed.

Description:
If a node had an invalid FPGA image and a valid image was downloaded, the motor associated with the node would display the secondary feedback value as N/A. This problem was fixed.

Description:
The Motor Event Configuration tab doesn't have settings for SW limits' "direction sensitivity." This problem was fixed.
