1.4.4 Improved Robustness and Reliability
Program robustness and reliability have been improved considerably in this release.
ADAMView
4.25
provides memory monitoring functions and protection against insufficient hard disk space during
continuous operation. In addition, there is also improved protection against improper use and hardware
failure.
(1) Memory Monitoring Functions
A new tag named "FreeSpace" has been added under "VIRTASK". It is used to monitor the free
memory space of the system when running. To enable this function, the user has to set a value in the
\Windows\
ADAMView
.INI file manually as follows:
[System]
MemoryCheck = 1
After adding this entry to the
ADAMView
.INI file you should open
ADAMView
and create a tag block.
Configu
re this tag block by selecting VIRTASK under the Display/Virtual Tag field, and then select
FreeSpace
in the Tag Name field.
(2) Protect Historical Data Against Insufficient Hard Disk Space
In the Historical Trend Display,
ADAMView
will record the historical data to files by date. When
ADAMView
is run continuously for long periods of time, there is a chance of running out of hard disk
space. To protect against this,
ADAMView 4.25
removes the files generated by Historical Trend Display
automatically. It automatically removes historical files that are older than 30 days by default. Users
can change this period by setting "HistDaysAgo" under the [System] section in the
\Windows\
ADAMView
.INI files as follows:
[System]
HistDaysAgo = 15
This modification will cause
ADAMView
will remove historical files that are older than 15 days.
Note:
If you want to keep all historical files, you should set "HistDaysAgo = 0".
ADAMView
will not
remove any historical files.
