DAQFactory Revision History

Release 22.1

Upgrade notes:

System. and Page. functions now require parentheses, for example System.Quit() instead of System.Quit. A document that uses the bare form will stop with "Invalid Name / Function access" at runtime. Properties such as Page.CurrentPage are not affected.
Script assignments that fail, such as an out-of-range value or a write to a read-only property, now raise an error that try/catch can handle instead of failing silently.
Device and protocol drivers are now built into DAQFactory instead of shipping as separate DLLs. OPC UA is still a separate OPCUA.dll.

Changes:

Native OPC UA client support
fGet() and fPost() accept HTTP 201 and 202 as success.
Removed obsolete menu items.
Fixed: Email, FTP and POP3 object members not resolving.
Fixed: POP3.GetMessageText() returning garbage or crashing.
Fixed: crash on exit after the server dropped a POP3 connection.
Fixed: I/O Type list wrong or empty on new and imported channel rows.
