Supervisor’s Add-ons (when applicable):

| Microsoft® Windows Server 2008 R2 support - x64 architecture. |
X |

| The length of
variable names can now be up to 255 characters instead of 40 prior to
this evolution. In addition, the following limits are changed:
|
|
X |
| The dialog
boxes displayed during the startup phase have been widely improved,
including the various information/warning messages. In particular, the project selection dialog box now includes more information such as the project format version, the date of last modifiation and the total size of the project folder. The version of the Supervisor used to modify a project is stored since version 9.0. Starting with version 10.0, a message is displayed at startup for confirming running a project with a version newer than the last one used. This evolution is designed to avoid mistakenly launching and modifying a project with a newer version compared to the one used in production. |
|
X |
| A series of performance
improvements have been implemented, in particular related to the time
required to start and stop the Supervisor: Variable and trend
loading and unloading. The amount of memory required to manage some runtime elements has been reduced, in particular variables and alarm synthesis. |
X | |
| The installation package has
been fully re-designed. It is now based on the Microsoft® Windows Installer technology and supports the modification mode as well as minor upgrades without uninstallation. The set of features that can be installed separately from each other is improved to facilitate the identification of key components while installing the software. It also allows minimizing the amount of files installed onto the computer. As an example, you can now choose to install the online help and the documentation for certain languages only. Finally, the downloadable packages splitting has been reviewed. The size of the minimal Core package is half smaller than it used to be. |
X | X |
| The language couple is no more a choice at installation time, but a project setting. | X | X |
| In addition to sending emails, it is now possible to send short text messages from the Supervisor. | X | |
| 550+ fixes and enhancements. | X | X |

HMI |
End-user |
Designer |
New graphic
controls similar to the Microsoft Form Controls are
now available. It includes the following new graphic elements:
In most cases, they can be used without scripting; SCADA Basic scripting is available for more advanced uses. These new built-in graphic elements are supported via WebVue. |
X | X |
| Png format is now supported for images. | X | X |
| The trend viewer can now display up to 12000 points per pen instead of 4000 until now. This enhancement fixes most of the issues related to partial curve drawing. | X |
|
Historical Data management |
End-user |
Designer |
| In addition to multiple active server association, the HDS now supports redundancy following the single active server association scheme. Using such architecture allows a couple of HDS servers to store data in the same SQL Server database. Only one HDS server is active at a time and writes records to the database, the other server being passive and ready to take the hand if necessary. |
X |
X |
| As a consequence
of the new limits for variable name length, HDS table structures
created with an earlier version of the Supervisor need to be changed. Depending on the size of your databases, this operation is done automatically at first start-up of your project with version 10.0, or has to be done before launching the project, with the help of SQL scripts supplied with the Supervisor. In any case, it is advised to backup HDS databases prior to upgrading. See the document named HDS Database Migration.pdf in the documentation addenda for more information. |
