6 2 NEW FEATURES AND ENHANCEMENTS The following new features and enhancements are included with this SIM: 2.1 CIMEDIT/CIMVIEW CIMPLICITY v10.0 SIM 3: Support for determining usage of string space US Four new methods have been added in CimView to enable you to determine how the string space is managed and how much of it is remaining. Method GetMemoryInfoStringSpa ce GetMemoryInfoStringSpa cehandles Description This method obtains information on the memory usage for string space. It has the following parameters: used: The number of used bytes in the string space. free: The number of free bytes in the string space. total: The number of total bytes in the string space. outflags: The internal information about the string space. This parameter is unused. Note: The sum of the used and free parameter values will not be equal to the value of the total parameter. This is because of the overhead that is used to manage the allocated blocks. This method obtains information on the handle usage for string space. It has the following parameters: used: The number of handles that have been used. free: The number of handles that are free. total: The total number of handles (32736). The code in the following example uses the GetMemoryInfoStringSpace and GetMemoryInfoStringSpaceHandles methods to obtain memory information and display it in a window. Option Explicit Sub OnMouseUp(x As Long, y As Long, flags As Long) Dim mymsg As String Dim used As Long, free As Long, total As Long, outflags As Long Dim charcount Dim i Dim myarray(100) As String mymsg = "" mymsg = mymsg & Chr$(13) & "---- BEFORE ----" GetMemoryInfoStringSpace used, free, total, outflags GE Digital 6

You can dynamically change the start and the sweep angles of an object based on the evaluation of expressions. To animate angles in an object: 1. In the CIMPLICITY Workbench window, select a screen containing an arc, pie, or chord object, right-click the screen, and then select Edit. 2. In the CimEdit window, select the object you want to animate, and then select Properties. GE Digital 9

10 3. In the Properties window, select Angle Animation. 4. In the Expression box, enter an expression for the Start angle and/or Sweep angle. You can also modify the expression by selecting. GE Digital 10

11 Note: Each expression determines the corresponding object angle locations between the Min and Max angle values. For Start angle, if you leave the expression blank, the start angle configured for the object (in the Geometry section) is used. For angle animation to occur, you must configure the sweep angle. If, however, you do not want to specify an expression for the sweep angle, select the Constant option to enter a constant sweep angle. GE Digital 11

12 5. In the Expr. min/max boxes, enter the minimum and maximum values for the expression. Note: You may leave the Expr. min/max boxes blank if the expression contains a single point ID with no operations performed on it and the point has Display Limits defined. CimView will use the Display Limits configured for the point ID for the Expr. min/max values when the screen file opens. 6. In the Min/max angle boxes, enter the minimum and maximum values for the angle. This will determine the start or sweep angle of the animation for the object. When the expression value is the same as the Expr. min value, the Min angle value will be used. When the expression value is the same as the Expr. max value, the Max angle value will be used. The direction of the underlying arc determines the direction of the animation. You can set the direction in the Geometry section of the Properties window. Here are a few examples of the sweeps of an arc based on the direction, and the start and sweep angles: Clockwise GE Digital 12

13 Counterclockwise CIMPLICITY v10.0 SIM 3: Support for obtaining screen cache count independently US Two new methods have been added to enable you to obtain the number of screens in the display screen cache and the library screen cache independently in CimView or CimEdit. Method GefApplication.DisplayScreenCacheCount Description This method obtains the number of screens currently in the display cache. Example: Sub Application_FlushDisplayScreenCache() MsgBox "Screens in display cache = " + CimGetScreen.Application.DisplayScreenCacheCount End Sub Method GefApplication.LibraryScreenCacheCount Description This method obtains the number of screens currently in the library cache. GE Digital 13

14 Example: Sub Application_FlushLibraryScreenCache() MsgBox "Screens in library cache = " + CimGetScreen.Application.LibraryScreenCacheCount End Sub CIMPLICITY v10.0 SIM 2: Support for removing screens independently from screen cache US Starting from CIMPLICITY 10.0 SIM 2, two new methods have been added to enable you to remove the display screens and library screens from the screen cache independently in CimView or CimEdit. Method GefApplication.FlushDisplayScreenCache Description This method removes all the screens that can be displayed from the screen cache. Example: Sub Application_FlushDisplayScreenCache() CimGetScreen.Application.FlushDisplayScreenCache End Sub Method GefApplication.FlushLibraryScreenCache Description This method removes all the library screens from the screen cache. Example: Sub Application_FlushLibraryScreenCache() CimGetScreen.Application.FlushLibraryScreenCache End Sub GE Digital 14

When CimView is used to view graphic screens created in older version of CIMPLICITY, the color animation expressions now evaluate properly when multiple bits of Point Attribute Set are used in animation expressions. When launching CimView application with /LoadPassword commandline parameter, the functionality works as expected. Points to consider: Please ensure that: 1. <FileName>.cfg file is populated with the right UserName and Password information. The login credentials must be same as that configured for the user in workbench for the project. 2. Global parameter UR_PWD_CASE is set to Y if password is case sensitive. 3. <FileName>.cfg file is placed in the data subdirectory of the CIMPLICITY installation directory (e.g. C:\Program Files\Proficy\Proficy CIMPLICITY\data). 4. /LoadPassword commandline option is invoked as mentioned below: CimView.exe /LoadPassword <FileName>.cfg 5. When using CimLayout, the /LoadPassword commandline option cannot be used. However, the login dialog will now be displayed at the top when launching CimLayout. GE Digital 35
