Preface — What's New in RTDAQ?

Undo/Redo List on File Save, Syntax Highlighting for Variables and
Local Variables.

• The CRBasic Editor also now has the capability to open a read-only copy

of any file. This gives you the ability to open multiple copies of a program
and examine multiple areas of a very large program at the same time.

• You can also now continue an instruction onto multiple lines by placing

the line continuation indicator (a single space followed by an underscore
“_”) at the end of each line that is to be continued.

• The bookmarks in a CRBasic program are now persistent from session to

session.

• A new Constant Customization feature allows you to define values for one

or more constants in a program prior to performing a conditional compile.

• A Conditional Compile and Save option has been added that is used to

generate a new CRBasic program from code that uses conditional compile
syntax (#If/Else/ElseIf statements) and/or Constant Customization.

RTMC

• RTMC has a new layout toolbar which gives quick access to the Align,

Space Evenly, Make Same Size, Center, and Order menu items from
RTMC's Component menu.

• Many new functions have been added that may be used when building

expressions in RTMC. These include string functions, time functions, start
option functions, and function with state. The ability to declare aliases for
data values used in expressions has also been added.

• Graphics Options have been added to the Edit | Preferences menu item that

allow you to choose the maximum number of frames per second, whether
animation is enabled, and whether high quality or high speed is more
important. From this menu item, you can also choose the visual theme for
RTMC. This determines the look and feel of the application (i.e. colors,
button appearance, etc.). These options are available in both RTMC
Development and RTMC Run-time.

• An Edit | Customize menu item has been added which allows you to

customize RTMC's toolbars and menus. This menu item is available in
both RTMC Development and RTMC Run-time.

• Panning functionality has been added to charts in RTMC Run-time.

View Pro

• The ability to lock the timestamp column on the left of the data file has

been added to View Pro. This keeps the timestamp visible as you scroll
through columns of data.

• PageUp and PageDown can now be used to scroll through a graph one

graph width at a time.
