More Features, More drivers

It just keeps getting better. The new release for EB8000 V.3.30 has some new drivers and the software has some great new features.
Get the complete list of drivers: Driver Document PDF

Some new features:
1. Clicking on project compile errors take you right to the problem. No more close the compiler window and then trying to find the error. This is a big time saver.
2. History and Data files can now be backed up directly in CSV format. No need to use the CSV converter tool. Less steps to get the data into a spreadsheet.
3. The back light PLC Control object can now be used to turn on the back light if it is off. This means the PLC can turn on the back light to alert the operator when some important task needs to be done.
4. The ability to translate an older MMI project to the new EB8000 format using some special TTF fonts designed to mimic the old bitmap fonts used in EB500. I have tried this on an old project and the conversion came out almost perfect. I only had to redo the Security portion of the project. This is a huge time savings.
One thing. You will need the true type font files.
Next post I should have them up.
