What’s New in L-Vis
2.1 New in L-Vis 6.2.0
This section describes major changes and new features in L-Vis 6.2.0
2.1.1 Localized date and number controls
Release 6.2.0 adds support for localized display of date, time, and numbers. A desired
locale, consisting of a language, a region, possibly a preferred script, and a calendar system
can be set in the project settings and changed later on during run time via a new system
register. Depending on the selected region, calendar systems other than Gregorian, like
Hebrew, Islamic, Chinese, or Japanese are available to display localized dates.
For number controls, the preferred number system can either be taken from the current
locale (default), or a specific number system can be set in the controls properties. The user
can choose from over 30 different systems to display numbers, including many decimal
systems like Western, Arabic, Devanagari, or Thai digits, as well as algorithmic systems
like Roman, Hebrew, Chinese, or Japanese numerals.
Due to the amount of data needed to support localization, this feature is only available on
LVIS-3ME devices and LWEB-802/803.
Please review Sections 9.5.4 (Number Control), 9.5.7 (Date Control), and 11.3 (Project
Settings: Localization) to get started with this new feature.
2.1.2 Extended date control
Apart from localization support on modern devices, the date control was extended on all
devices to add more features like local updates, where incoming time stamps from a remote
device are only used to synchronize the date control with external time, while the date
control itself is updated independently of any data point updates, an option to choose
between UTC time (1:1 display of the time stamp) or local time (add the local UTC offset
before display), or a new modern style for the analog clock.
2.1.3 Improved trend control
The trend control received some improvements, like auto-zoom for the Y-axis, different
line-width settings per curve, solid grid lines, improved graphical display (buttons always
in front of curves), and improved performance.
2.1.4 Knob and Webcam controls
The knob control now supports a new mode of input, where the knob can only be turned
incrementally from its current position, to avoid sudden changes of the value. The webcam
control was improved to significantly reduce the initial delay before playback of certain
