ibaPDA - PDA2021-10

What’s new in this version?

New features and improvements

Two new functions are available for expressions used e.g. in virtual modules:

Stddev calculates the standard deviation over all acquired samples of a signal as long as the reset parameter is not set.
ModuleSignalCount returns the number of active signals configured in a module. Via parameters you can decide to consider only input, output, analog or digital signals.
 

A diagnostic module is now also available for IEC61850 client modules.

Extra signal meta data like the symbol name or operand of a signal that were already written as info fields in dat files are now also written as info fields in the ibaHD time-based data stores.

Important bugfixes

The functions MMin and MMax used an incorrect update interval after a reset.

The project save dialog in the ibaPDA client could freeze when complex and highly animated layouts were used in the client.

Expressions of a computation module stored in a protected profile were still visible as info field in a dat file and when exporting the module.

For full reference on other included new features, improvements and bugfixes please download this new version and check the included version history document.
