Re: But while we're on this topic, why aren't the configurator documents on
the CD?
I don't know. I suspect that it was never converted to HTML. I believe that
a .pdf file does exist, but I'll have to check.
Re: Is the legacy DM/DBuilder being further enhanced, or is it frozen from a
feature point of view (I assume bug fixes are still being incorporated)?
There are no enhancements to the Display Builder or Display Configurator
product in the offing. Basically, FV is the enhanced DM. In fact, certain
internal documents refer to it as the DM.
Bug fixes are corrected and the software is ported to each release. [I
wonder what the last actual correction was. That would be interesting to
know. One would assume that a piece of software that is 15 years old would
not be generating a large number of defect reports (as opposed to
enhancements).]
Re: And what is Foxboro's official position on the longevity of legacy DM?
Official positions come from Marketing, but I have heard high level company
management say in public that we will support all of the I/A Series HW and
SW as long as anyone needs them.
It boils down to we like our customers and we want to keep them happy.

OK, my bad. I guess I was referring to the configurator document
the most when
I was trying to get up to speed on building DM graphics.
But while we're on this topic, why aren't the configurator documents
on the CD?
Is the legacy DM/DBuilder being further enhanced, or is it frozen
from a feature
point of view (I assume bug fixes are still being incorporated)?
And what is
Foxboro's official position on the longevity of legacy DM?

Re: DM documentation is not available on the CD
I'd like to clarify this statement. The K0173TQ-G - FoxDoc for
V6.2.1 has
the following in its table of contents:
Display Builder (B0193AQ: Available in hard-copy only.)
Display Builder for 50 Series Workstations (B0193MP: Available in
hard-copy
only.)
Display Configurator for 20/30 Series Workstations (B0193AR)
Display Configurator for 50 Series Workstations (B0193NL)
Display Conventions Configurator (B0193CQ)
Display Edit Utility (Help File)
Display Engineering for 50 Series Workstations (B0193MQ)
Display Engineering (Windows NT Operating System) (B0400MQ)
Display Engineering Utilities (B0193WU)
Display Manager Commands (B0193DF)
Display Reporter and Connection Editor (B0193JN)
While it is true that the configuration document is not available on
the CD,
the majority of these documents are specific to the DM.
