We just got done upgrading all of our WP's to FoxView 99.2.1. For some
reason, the on-line trend configuration tool was changed in this version to
add 2 more steps to the process of calling up a historical trend. In
version 99.2, you right-clicked the trend, clicked on the "week", "day", or
"hour" button to set the time span of the trend, and hit OK, and you got the
trend. In this version, you have to click on a "Duration Settings..."
button, click on the "week", "day", or "hour", then click OK, then click on
a completely useless dialog box that offers the choice of the highest and
lowest possible "Scan rate" based on your selection of the time span, then
click OK again, and finally get the trend.
Is there any way to speed this process up with FoxView settings so that our
console guys can bypass all these steps and just get a historical trend
quickly? Why does it ask you for "scan rate" now? It used to be, whichever
time span you picked determined the scan rate. This worked well, and nobody
ever requested a change in any of the International Users Groups I ever went
to. Often times, there isn't even a valid "lower scan rate", so that choice
is greyed out and you must select the "upper scan rate" anyway. It seems to
me that if someone wanted a choice of scan rates, you could make a button
just for them, instead of forcing everyone to go through a separate dialog
box, which often only has one choice. Any ideas out there, other than
re-installing FoxView 99.2?
