FAQs - VT3 8.x

GUI enhancements:


   -) The "new device function" has been strongly enhanced by the insertion of a new window ("Wizard new device") that simplifies the creation process:


Enable/Disable VT3 Project

   -) Added two new buttons on the toolbar of the program. These buttons let the user navigate both back and forward the code of the opened VT3 project:


New device function


    -) Now it is possible to enable or disable automatic loading of the last VT3 Project at the next startup of the program:


Two buttons


    -) Added new feature: CAN-BUS messages can be defined under folders.

    -) The IO_CFG graphical interface has been improved.

    -) Added console "transcript" and "locator".

    -) Now it is possible to Import/Export data using the Microsoft Excel format. This functionality is available on CAN message (both import/export), IO_CFG (both import/export) and global data (only export).

    -) Added two new properties, "Hide" and "Locked", for all VT3 indicators in the VT3 project. These properties are available only during the design time mode.

    -) Added two new functions in the context menu:

       - "Vertical Alignment" and "Horizontal Alignment": let the user align vertically or horizontaly selected objects.

       - "Group / ungroup" functions: let the user to logically group multiple items inserted on the form.

    -) Now the user is warned by a message when he tries to connect unplugged or not properly installed USB-Dongle PEAK into the USB socket.

    -) Other new features:

Improvement of the automatic check of a manual change of the VT3 project file:
    Now the VT3 program automatically detects if it is necessary to recompile the project.

Debugging with some not connected devices:
    Now it's possible to start the debug session (on-line mode), even when some devices defined in the project are not present on the CAN-BUS line.

Dynamically change of the COB-ID of a CAN-BUS message:
    Two new functions have been added that let the user change the COB-ID parameter of a CAN-BUS message, both during the reception and the transmission process.
    This functionality is also implemented using the MUX messages (more messages with the same COB ID).
    NOTE: This functionality is not supported by the HC08 and MPC platforms.

Added a new function (REMOTE_DEVICE_STATUS) that can be used to check if a device is present on the CAN-BUS line:
    The REMOTE_DEVICE_STATUS function is used to retrieve the status of a device connected on the CAN-BUS line.
    NOTE: the use of this procedure is strongly recommended before calling functions such as REMOTE_READ or REMOTE_WRITE.

Asynchronous sending of a CAN message:
   The call of the function vt3_can_trigger_message_name = TRUE works even when transmit rate of a VT3 CAN Message is not 0 (zero).

Memory occupation (this function is available only for devices using the HC12 processor):
    Now it is possible to visualize the total memory occupation (shown in percentage) divided in: RAM, EEPROM and FLASH. This indicator has been added in the     "transcript" text box and it is updated during the compilation process.

Execution time of tasks:
    During the online mode, the Task table displays the actual execution time of each task, including system tasks (video management and CAN-BUS).
   A variable named "vt3_task_run_time_<taskname>" is generated for each task defined in the Task table.
   NOTE: Not implemented using the MPC architecture.

Improvement on the use of "Translation Table" in a VT3 Project:
   A new column for each device (with small size of memory) defined in the project is automatically added to the translation table. The user can check which string is specific for the device in order to limit the memory occupation.
   NOTE: This column also affects the import / export functionality in Excel format.

Memory class in library:
    Now into VT3 library you can assign for variables located into global_data a value in the "Address" field (eg: %P,%M or %R).

J1939 database update:
    The messages in the J1939 databases have been updated.
    IMPORTANT NOTE: Starting from version 7 the backwards compatibility with ENUM_001, ENUM_002, etc. is not supported.

Added new external program for drawing the background of a circular gauge:
    This tool automatically generates a professional image containing a gauge with scales, needles, markers with a complete set of customizable parameters (colors, fonts, length, tickness, offset, etc...)

Alias ​​I/O variables and CAN:
    Added the possibility to define alias for I/O and CAN-BUS messages

Record saving filter event log:
    Now it's possible to choose which transitions of the alarm you want to records in the EventLog. The selection is available for each alarm in alarm_table and differentiated for each event log.


LIB_VT3:
    PC_TARGET_Lib: library obsolete, replaced L3B6 rented from the library to the installation directory in VT3: ".. \ src \ resources \ library \ PC_TARGET_Lib".



DEVICE:

    SLAVE:

       -) Added these slave devices: IO_CORE, IO_EXT, KEYPAD, AMU CBO.

       -) Added a sample project in the ".. \ resources \ examples \ Features \ SLAVE \ AMU_Example" folder.


    TERA-EOLOADER with USB:

       -) Added documentation: "..\resources\documents\eoloader_tera_manual" or pressing the VT3 button: "manual" -> "eoloader tera-manual").

       -) An example of usage can be found at : "..\resources\eoloader_tera" or pressing the VT3 button: "tera-eoloader configuration".

Tera Eoloader Screenshot


    DASHBOARD_MOTO:

       -) Updated target and renamed "Truckontrol".

          To open an old project developed for the target "Dashboard_Moto_TFT" follow the steps below:

             -) Open the property.txt files from the project folder: "<VT3_PROJECT_NAME> \ project \ <DEVICE_DASHBOARD_MOTO> \ property.txt"

             -) Search this line of code: DEVICE_MODEL = 'Dashboard_Moto_TFT'

             -) Replace with this line of code: DEVICE_MODEL = 'Truckontrol'


    PC_TARGET:

       -) Added two new indicators: TABLE_CSV and Winscope;

       -) Added new L3B6 library.

       -) Added a sample project of L3B6 library located at: ".. \ resources \ examples \ Features \ PC_WINDOWS \ TARGET_PC_L3B6";

       -) Dynamic resizing of the indicators when resize window in runtime mode ;


    TERA_QT:

       -) Added new custom indicator "ISOBUS_TC" and updated "ISOBUS_VT" indicator;

VT3 patch 8.5.6.1 has been released (10th Nov 2016)

New structure for the project files:

We completely rebuild the VT3 project structure. Starting with this release new projects will have a single large file for every device. This new implementation drastically reduces load and save time. Note: you can convert projects that still are in the old VT3 format, using the new button in "convert" section of the ribbon bar.

Graphic Component:

Add new indicator “Graphic Component”. With the "Graphic Component" indicator it is possible to define an assembly of indicators to be used and reused in more screens. To reuse a graphic component in a screen, you just need to make a link. This is a very powerful feature, allowing to design reusable graphic elements, built from many complex indicators, including groups and subscreens.

More informations about debugger:

In the online mode on the indicator "task table" two columns have been added: Stack size: Show the allocated stack size for each task Stack used: Shows the stack consumption by task. Also it added a section that shows the CPU load and the runtime error counters, divided by error code.

Tasktable

Init/Save persistent array:

Add functions:
  • initialize_bytearray_P();
  • initialize_bytearray_R();
  • initialize_bytearray_F();
These functions are available via code or directly via button within the IDE together to save parameters functions:
  • save_bytearray_P();
  • save_bytearray_R();
  • save_bytearray_F();
Init save

Group indicator:

Add the follow properties to the group indicator:
  • Origin of coordinates with respect to the object in the upper left (x, y);
  • Height;
  • Width;

Mouse coordinates:

Mouse coordinates are displayed in a tooltip when you select one object on the screen. When mouse is not used, for a few seconds, coordinates are hidden to obtain a wider view.

SVG Images:

Integrated for “TERA_QT” and “PC_TARGET” Family the support to the images ".svg" in design time mode. It is therefore possible a change:
  • Dimensions in pixels (width and height);
  • A flag "isometric" (if it is active, then the width and height are linked by a fixed ratio);
  • The angle of rotation;
  • Only for two-color images: the replacement color to use instead of black and white;
SVG support is provided by means an external application, called Inkscape; this application must be installed along with VT3 in order to convert the SVG images. Please visit http://inkscape.org to download and install Inkscape. VT3 has been developed and tested the version 0.91, and although subsequent versions may work, they are not guaranteed.

Trend indicator:

The trend indicator displays a set of variables (up to 5) on a x-y chart. It may be used to sample and display live data, or to display arrays of data provided by the application:

Trend
This indicators maybe used in two different ways:
    • SAMPLING MODE: When sampling and displaying live data, the x axis represents time: zero is the current instant, and negative values are placed in the past. Of course it is not possible to display future live data.
  • ARRAY MODE: When displaying arrays provided by the application, the x axis may represent whatever variable.

Import PRxx file:

Add buttons import Prxx file that enables the importation of *.PRfile parameters.

Other devices:

    • T_BOX:

Changed prm to make the flash pages contiguous. Limited the camera object to respect the limits of the hardware capabilities.
