All wireless TCP/IP sessions are identified and tracked with unique GUID and time stamped to confirm Pocket PC user acceptance; also full records of wireless project installation and update, and Unit ID changes.
 
New General Options

General Options on the Pocket PC enable:

  • Setting Unit ID of sessions on Pocket PC client that may have originated via a 'broadcast' to all Pocket PCs from wireless server; enabling identification of Pocket PCs on return of sessions to wireless server.
  • Automatic start of new sessions after previous session has closed. Useful for repetitive operations such as bar code scanning.

Review of pages 2 to 7 of Skills tutorial is recommended. Other enhancements include:
  • If/Else logical operator in Math point (now has 30 math operators and functions)
  • Logic points can also test the dynamic value of two points by applying the test to the other point by enclosing the point IDName in <%....%>, this can be useful when comparing initially unknown values, for example two bar code scans
  • Edit menu in Design mode presents Export Strings and Import Strings functions which enable export and import of text files profiling Page, Point Caption and Guidance content for the project; which may assist design activities, especially for project language translations
  • Backup and Restore of sessions on the Pocket PC, via Project Menu; for practical risk management and 'housekeeping'
  • Filter of Outlook Contacts Categories in Outlook point on Pocket PC
  • additional Data Script functions for automation of session data flow
  • automatic repair of damaged or lost session data index files
  • support for carriage returns in HTML and XML outputs, and other user requests (see below)
  • can be installed to either RAM (Default), or SD and CF cards (in Windows Mobile 2003 and Pocket PC 2002); installing to card secures data in the event of power failure [do not install to iPAQ 'File Store', which is better for files than programs]

Further minor additions and remedies: Integer/int function in Math point; ADO data pathway output errors can now be written to text Log file rather than 'pop up' interruption of output; cursor set to Edit point at top of page; Data Script includes 'SendToAll', 'SaveSketch' and ability to determine Path of a project from script; Boolean points can be returned to null value; clear Target entries in Local Session drop list by selecting and 'shift' to delete; 'Save Project As' in Design mode, fix for growth of PPD file with data transfers by TCP/IP; prevention of duplicates of 'Marked for Send' sessions if user erroneously manually dispatches marked sessions; fix of incorrect order of selected output from Data Window if sessions were not arranged in default 'Oldest First' order; aspect ratio of Sketch point sketches adjusts for any image file size.
