New software updates available, improved performance and new features

New minor updates have been released for both FactorySQL and FactoryPMI, providing a variety of new features and improvements

SACRAMENTO, CA JUNE 18, 2008 - FactoryPMI 3.2 offers dramatically improved window load times, improved clustered networking, and several very useful new components. The new sound component makes it extremely easy to embed sound files into screens, while the Paintable Canvas component offers savvy users unprecedented control in creating custom displays.

On the FactorySQL side, version 4.2 introduces a variety of robustness-enhancing features such as buffered data logging, which allows short bursts of rapid logging and prevents data loss when switching over to the data cache, a group failure handshake option, and the ability to request values only when the group is triggered. Additionally, new expression functions have been added that enable a range of database operations, making it easier than ever to accomplish complex operations quickly.

Additionally, FactorySQL is now compatible with the CSV ODBC driver that comes installed with nearly every copy of Windows. This means that FactorySQL can now log historical data directly to CSV. For more information, please see the HOWTO article in our Support Forum.
