InduSoft Inc., an independent SCADA provider, has released Service Pack 2 (SP2) for its InduSoft Web Studio 7.1 software. SP2 provides native support of HTML5 screens and animation for multiple devices and platforms, including Safari and Chrome browsers.
InduSoft Web Studio lets users create screens once using the standard screen editor, and then deploy these screens across multiple operating systems. InduSoft Web Studio 7.1 users can now instantly access screens on their various handheld devices via the Studio Mobile Access interface.
Indusoft Web Studio 7.1 introduces the support of native shapes such as lines, rectangles, polygons, ellipses, etc. Along with linked pictures, animations and active objects such as buttons, check boxes and more, these features render the screens for handheld devices to appear much like those of on the larger displays commonly found on PCs. Moreover, SP2 supports a wide range of images (BMP, PNG, JPG, etc.) and animation capabilities.
SP2 also provides built-in troubleshooting tools for the native VBScript editor. These new tools, such as breakpoints and variable watch lists, make debugging much easier. Breakpoints can be created for global procedures, script tasks, graphic scripts and screen scripts. This lets users debug a section of code and review the result, instead of being forced to debug the entire code. Users can also step through their VBScript code one line at a time by using the Step Into, Step Over, and Step Out tools.
Added capabilities to the DB Spy feature, commonly used with debugging tools, offer the ability to view all locally-declared VBScript variables and the current values of those variables using the Locals tab. The Stack Frame tab shows additional information about the VBScript interfaces that are currently open for debugging. Furthermore, all run-time tasks being debugged and the current state of each task are displayed in the Tasks Frame.
