****************** PcommServer ENHANCEMENTS *********************
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
. Initial delay at the startup is eliminated now since PcommServer does
not try to communicate to all configured devices at the startup.
Further, a lot of effort was made to improve the performance of USB
and Ethernet communication.
. USB Unplug event works much better than the Pewin32PRO version.
. Ethernet connect is improved considerably. In case of device not
connected the initial timeout is reduced to less than 4 seconds.
. The Ethernet device configuration in the Pewin32Pro2 is made simple
now. For a pre-configured Ethernet based PMAC, ETHConfigure /
EthUSBConfigure are no longer required. These applications are only
needed if the IP address is unknown or communication CAN NOT be
established at the default IP address of (192.6.94.5). See the Delta
Tau's driver installation instructions "DT Driver_Install.pdf" for
details.

******************** Pewin32PRO2 FEATURES ***********************
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
. Pewin32Pro2 is completely recompiled to communicate directly to
PComm32Server's COM Interface using VCL and latest software tools.
Borland CBuilder 6.0 is used as the platform for development. PCommServer
and other Ring zero drivers are compiled using Microsoft .NET C++ 7.0.
In addition to all of the Pewin32Pro's previous features, including Color
editor, with PLC debugger, versatile watch and position windows and smart
terminal window. various variable configuration menus, particularly the
P,Q,M and I-variables, have been improved a lot for added features, as
uploads, download and refresh etc.
. The Worksapce is fully functional along with project management capability.
Workspaceis saved in an INI file. The default workspace file
Pewin32Pro2_Default.INI is stored in the application folder. Name and
location cane be changed at any time.
This workspace file keeps tarck of all the open forms including their sizes,
device association, update rate, state at the close of pervious session, and
other related parameters as color, font and units and scales.
Workspace can be edited outside the application for desired changes.
. Project manager is yet another added feature of Pewin32Pro2. It allows for
multiple files to be associated with a project (essentially associated with
any one PMAC). Please browse for detailed project features.
. Terminal is made smart to correctly keep track of previous commands. Status
screens are modified to display the exact register and bit numbers for each
item.
. Choice of PMACSelect in each form is a feature that is very useful for expert
users. It increases the versatility of the program. This allows for selection
of any available device for any form with the need for a Terminal to be open.
Further, the update period is selectable for most of the forms.

************************ NEW FEATURES ADDED *********************
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
Minor changes from Pewin32Pro to Pewin32Pro2
. All interrupts received from the PMAC are handled by event handle in the TPmac
class and are listed in the Interrupt monitor tab in the main MessageFrame.
Interrupts are still initiated in the Terminal screen. Once initialized, all
received interrupts are displayed in the Interrupt monitor tab of the main
MessageFrame.
. Unsolicited response are also displayed in the Unsolicited response Tab of the
main MessageFrame. The option to display the Unsolicited response and
frequency to check them is configured in the General Setup and Options' "View"
tab.
. Now Pewin32Pro2 can poll every PMAC opened in Terminal and saves the basic
info in a Log file PewinSessionLog.txt (saved in the application folder).
This is done to monitor any error that may come across during that session,
e.g., watchdog tripping, Communication timeout etc. This option can be enabled
and time interval can be set in the in the General Setup and Options'
"View" tab.
New screens added:
1.Modbus configure window:
This screen allows to configure/reconfigure modbus for PMACs the Modbus option
present. Modbus option is available on request on new UMACs (version 1.940 and
later and on newer GeoPMACs. Modbus require a USB or Ethernet mode of
communication. While basic configuration can be done via Serial/ISA/PCI, the
counters cand Client Server configuration require USB/Ethernet mode of
communication. See Pewin32Pro2 manual for detailed description. Modbus setup
screen is available form the configure menu.
2.MACRORingOrder is yet another configuruation screen designed to initiate the
MACRO Ring ASCII communication bewteen the Ring Controller and other Slave
stations and/or secondary Masters/Slaves. This screen allows to setup Ring
Controller, detect or reinitialize all other stations on the Ring, sets up
all the commincation parametes, saves these parameters in a file and can
start/stop MACRO Ring ASCII communication to any station on the Ring.
See Pewin32Pro2 manaul for details. This screen is also available at the end
of Configure menu.
3.C.S. Axis Jog: At the request of one of our customer, this screen has been
added in the view menu. This screen has CS definitions and can Jog an axis in
both absolute as well as incremental mode using the command !X where X is the
defined Axis in a given C.S. This screen is abalable for Turbo PMACs only.
It parameters as same as Jog Ribbon for a specific motor.
4.PMAC CPU Resources: Like C.S. Axis Jog, this screen is also available for
Turbo PMACs only. This screen can be launched from PMAC resources menu and
it lists different frequencies of the PMAC along with its Firmware version and
CPU type. This is a standard MDIChildThread form and polls PMAC on the
specified interval for different Foregroung Tasks. Three FG task categories
include Phase Tasks, Servo Tasks and RTI Tasks. Details of all of the FG tasks
are available from the specific buttons.
5.Memory resources: This screen lists special Memory registers in all PMACs and
lists then in the order they are stored in the PMAC memory. The special memory
registers include Gather buffer, User buffer, Rotary program buffer, Lookahead
buffer and different Comp tables buffers. This screen can be launced from PMAC
resources menu.
6.Frequncy calculators: Frequency calculators are available for PMAC2 style
(Turbo or Non-Turbo) boards. This can calculate Hardware Clock, Servo
Frequency, PFM for Steppers and I^2T parameters for a specific motor. This
screen is abailable under the PMAC resources menu.
7.Test DPRAM: DPRAM test is now a part of Pewin32Pro2 main application. It is
available under Tools menu.
8.Under Tools menu there are three additions applications.
a) Basic Speed Test provides Benchmark times for Delta Tau Drivers for all
modes of communication.
b) RawTerminal is degined for diagnostic purpose and returns the raw data
from the PMACs and displays it in the its screen. Both applications support
download file as well events generated by PcommServer.
c) Geo Brick Setup sets up the Geo Brick.
9.Driver installation and troubleshooting prcedure has changed. Please read the
Driver Installation notes from the Help menu for details.
10.In the help menu two links provided:
a) The first link (Bug Reporting) is meant for reporting software bugs,
e.g., issues related to communication to PMAC and other software
applications related issues.
b) The second link (Technical Support) is meant for general Delta Tau products
related questions and connects the user to Delta Tau main support website.
