Device Profile automatically. However, it can become necessary to stop and start the affected Device Profile
manually in such a case.
2.10
Administrator Rights
Setup.exe must be executed with Windows administrator rights in order to be able to install all redistributable
files properly. In addition, in case the automated startup type of the
X-Tools Server
shall be changed, the
X-
Tools Server
also must have Windows administrator rights in order to be able to configure the according Win-
dows service.
2.11
Unsupported Record Mode “Changes and Interval”
Within Device Profiles the “Record Mode” “Changes and Interval” can not be used within the actual version of X-
Tools.
2.12
Unsupported Data Format “Big Endian (Motorola, MSB first) using Bit Ar-
rays”
Using Bit Arrays in Device Profiles the “Data Format” “Big endian (Motorola, MSB first)” can not be used within
the actual version of X-Tools.
2.13
Possible Side-Effect at the Moment of File Splitting
In case of machines with low performance and high amount of tasks, the available resources at the moment of
the file splitting can be reduced so that other parts of the system are influenced. In such situations, messages
about data supervision events and/or about past/future time errors can occur. In order to avoid such situations
and the involved data loss for a short moment of time, a faster machine must be used and/or less tasks must be
configured. In cases which are close to the limit of the used machine, also setting of the data supervision time to
e.g. 10 seconds can reduce this effect.
2.14
Massive Amounts of Log Entries may be caused by the Sequence Control
The sequence control can be used in order to automatically start and stop any other Configuration File. Each of
such operation causes one or more entries to the System Log and each entry consumes a few bytes of mem-
ory, thus the overall memory usage of the
X-Tools Server
may be rising constantly in case of control scripts
which produce a lot of entries to the System Log.
Via the “General logging Mode” setting from the global options of the
X-Tools Server
, the amount of stored log
entries can be reduced.
2.15
Unsupported Update of the ANFs “Avg” and “RMS”
The input argument has been changed from “PeriodOfTime” to “NumberOfPoints” after V 03.02. In case an Ana-
lyzing Model File or an Analyzing Script File from a version before V 03.02 SP1 is used, this value has to be
adapted accordingly.
2.16
Unsupported Update of the ANF “FFT” and of windowing ANFs within
Analyzing Scripts
The input argument “NumberOfPoints” has been removed from all windowing ANFs (“AppBhann”, “AppBlack”,
“AppBlett”, “AppHamm”, “AppHann”) and from the ANF “FFT” after V 03.02. Now the number of points will be
taken from the connected ANF “Bffr”. In case an Analyzing Script File from a version before V 03.02 SP1 is
used, the no more existing input argument has to be removed from the Analyzing Script code.
2.17
Unsupported Update of the ANF “OutTCP” within Analyzing Scripts
The input argument “Mode” has been removed from the ANF “OutTCP” after V 03.02. In case an Analyzing
Script File from a version before V 03.02 SP1 is used, the no more existing input argument has to be removed
from the Analyzing Script code.
