New EasyBuilder Version Released!

As mentioned in my last post, a new version of EasyBuilder is coming. Well, it is here, except the version number is 4.21. This means some more features were added and a few corrections were made.
I know, I know, you want to know what great new features were added on top of the already great features from previous versions and the promised V4.20. OK, here are some of them. The rest you can get from the Release Note.

1. When EasyBuilder8000 starts, a dialog pops up for users to select：
New: Create a new project.
Open Existing Project: To open an existing project.
Open Recent Project: To open the recently used project.
Just like many other software packages. This is just a little spiff and polish.

2. When modifying data in Numeric Input object, LW9052 is used for saving data before modification. This allows you to make an "Undo" button for data entry. Or saving the last value after already making the change.

3. LW10500~10659 are provided for modifying the following parameters of PLC 1~PLC32: ”Timeout”, “Turn around delay”, “Send ACK delay”, “Parameter 1”, “Parameter 2”. This makes editing a connection to a controller complete. Now a maintenance screen can be made to change all of the communications parameters for a port. This helps when changing out PLC/Controllers with different settings. (No need to modify a project compile and download, just do it from the HMI itself.)

4. For Numeric Input object, keypads without title bar can be selected. This helps on smaller units where keyboard overwhelm the screen. Now more of the screen is visible when keypads are displayed.

5. MACRO editing now has a right click, pop up, shortcut menu. There are plenty of functions provided in this newly created menu, including ”Undo”, “Redo”, “Cut”, “Copy” etc.

These and a few other minor additions make EasyBuilder even easier!
Maybe we should change the name to EasierBuilder!
