New Limit Lines Added to the Calibration Widget

“Percent of Span” or a “Constant” value can now be added to calibration widgets in the Trending Dashboard. This new feature assists the user in creating calibration error trends with custom thresholds used for accuracy.

Device Diagnostics Widget for Overview Dashboard

A new Device Diagnostics widget has been added to the Overview Dashboard based on the original ‘stand-alone’ Device Diagnostics widget. The new widget provides expanded features and capabilities not available in the original widget such as more granular controls for selecting which slots are displayed, the ability to expand and collapse rows when in run mode, and an option to show disabled I/O’s and Data Providers.
