1.1 to 1.1.1
This page describes what changes when you open a file saved with Cognio DesignOps 1.1 in version 1.1.1. For how file versioning works in general, see File Versioning.
Cognio upgrades 1.1 files to 1.1.1 when you open or import them. The next time you save, the file is written in the 1.1.1 format, and Cognio DesignOps 1.1 can no longer open it. Keep a copy of the file from before you open it if you still need to work in 1.1.
What Changes in Your Design
| Item | Change |
|---|---|
| Delay readouts | Delay controls that were set to Milliseconds when they were placed are changed to Seconds. In 1.1, these readouts showed the right number with the wrong unit, for example 0.25 ms for a quarter-second delay. They now show the correct unit. |
| Attack, Release, and Hold readouts | Attack, Release, and Hold controls that were set to Milliseconds when they were placed no longer have a fixed unit, so the Units list is blank. The readout looks the same as before: it shows milliseconds or seconds, depending on the value. |
| Managed Devices | Sites with imported Managed Devices store each device's controls once, instead of once for every copy placed in the Site. The Site works the same, and the file is smaller after you save it. |
The units change applies only to Delay, Attack, Release, and Hold controls set to Milliseconds. Controls set to any other unit keep it, and so do other controls set to Milliseconds. See Parameter Range.
Web App Options on Imported Control Panel Groups
In 1.1.1, Vertical Scrolling and Fit Width to View are on by default for new Control Panel Groups. Control Panel Groups already in a Site keep their settings when the Site is upgraded.
A Control Panel Group you import is treated as a new Control Panel Group. If the imported file has no setting for these options, they are turned on. For example, a Control Panel Group exported from 1.0.1 arrives with both options on. A Control Panel Group exported from 1.1 keeps its settings. See CPG Properties.
Syncing after Upgrading
Cognio DesignOps 1.1.1 can sync only with Smart Devices running 1.1.1 firmware. Update each device's firmware before you sync an upgraded design. See Syncing with Hardware.
