I just received a new panel Pc 10 “
« on: September 14, 2018, 01:12:55 PM »
I just received a new panel Pc 10 “ and after I started the project with it I can’t read the string with the modbus/TCP drive. The Ver. is 35 on the USB stick. 
I like the menu set up of the app but need to upgrade. What would be the quickest way to upgrade without losing my work?

The string function (@Sxx) wasn't implemented until 3.99y Beta. The version shipped with the panel is 3.99x (latest stable release).

Do you want to upgrade the version on the memory stick to the latest or upgrade an existing project into the version on the memory stick?

I expected the version on the stick that came with the panel to be the latest but after starting the project when I went to pull a barcode string to the page I found errors and when I looked the version is V. 35 on the stick. 
Should I just delete the whole project or is there a way to save the work?
There are no files on the panel hard drive that I can find, I was working from the stick.

I guess Archie is in transit or dealing with the Florence's affect. 
It's a little  bit confusion when seeing the solution name is v35, but if you open the ReleaseNotes399.txt , I think it will tell you that it's 399x.

Download latest version from here: http://downloads.advancedhmi.com/AdvancedHMIv399yBeta12.zip.

There are many example of how to deal with existing project, search & you will find

Thanks bachphi.  It is confusing to see that. But I still can't get the Modbus/TCP to read strings "400049@S15"

Did you try it with 399yBeta12?  and have you tried to read some simple integer first to see if the setup is OKay

Sorry for the delay in responding, I was travelling all day to return from China.

The software on the memory stick is a special edition only available with the panel PCs, so you do not want to delete it. I will try to walk you through steps to up to 3.99y Beta and still keep the features of the edition on the memory stick.

- The first thing to do is to create a directory on the memory stick named \Original
- Move all of the files on the memory stick to the \Original folder except the touch screen driver
- Download and extract the latest 3.99y Beta version to the root directory of the memory stick
- Open the 399y version from the memory stick
- In Solution Exporer, under the AdvancedHMI project, expand down the FormChangeControls folder
- Right Click the MainMenuDriven folder and select Add->Existing item
- Browse to the \Original\AdvancedHMI\FormChangeControls\MainMenuDriven folder
- Select the MainMenu.vb file, then click Add
- Repeat the previous 3 steps, but this time select the MainMenuButton.vb file

- In Solution Explorer, expand down the AdvancedHMI project
- Right click the PurchasedControls folder and select Add->Existing
- Browse to \Original\AdvancedHMIControls\PurchasedControls folder
- Select all of the .vb file and click Add

So now we are ready to add the items you added to the project. This may vary based on whether you placed your forms in a folder:
- In Solutin Explorer, right click the AdvancedHMI project and select Add->Existing
- Browse to \Original\AdvancedHMI\???? and select the form's *.vb file that you added. ONLY SELECT ONE EACH TIME YOU ADD!

After you added all of your forms, you can then try to Build the solution. If you get any errors, post them here and I will tell you how to resolve.

I have all the errors handled.  How do I get the menu page to show when run. It's there and complete in the Designer but doesn't show when run.????

Ok. sounds good.

Just for the record, all of those errors except for the one about the FITEQ resource are for properties that no longer exist in the latest version. You can double click each error, then delete the line of code it takes you to. Be sure to either start at the bottom of the list or Build again after deleting each line. Otherwise when you delete the line the code shifts up and the next double click will take you to the wrong code.
