New in Med-PC + Trans V

New in Med-PC® V

Improved user experience

  • Native 64-bit application (Windows 7 or later)
  • All screens and dialogs have been completely redesigned, with an emphasis on reducing key strokes required for routine tasks
  • Tool buttons placed on moveable panels
  • New terminal panel for expert users to rapidly enter commands without using the menu system
  • Macro parameter panels can be used to create highly customized data entry dialogs in macros
  • Each Windows user can have a separate procedure list so that it is easier to find one’s own programs when loading boxes
  • The new load box screen makes loading multiple boxes with various programs a snap
  • Ability to drag & drop or resize the panes and panels in almost any configuration you desire; which can then be saved and easily accessed at any time using the “Saved Desktops” drop-down list
  • Graphical Hardware Configuration Utility provides representation of the interface cabinet for easy and intuitive input/output card installation and setup

Med-PC®, simplified

  • Data file options are now defined within Med-PC®, and the schemes for naming files have been simplified and otherwise improved
  • Data filenames now have a “.TXT” extension so they can be easily opened in text editors
  • Saving data has been simplified:
    • Use STOPSAVE to end the session and save the data
    • Use STOPDISCARD to end the session and discard the data
  • Options for defining print layout and specifying the printer have been simplified

 

New in TRANS V

Completely redesigned environment

  • Editor bookmarks make it easier to navigate to specified sections of code, the user can now use “Ctrl+#” to create a bookmark, and “Alt+#” to navigate to an existing bookmark
  • Support for drag & drop of MSN files into the editor has been added

New MSN commands

  • FOR-NEXT loops
  • SHOWEX to display data with control over the number of decimal digits
  • Sealed_Array will cause the array to be automatically truncated after the last non-zero value so that only those elements used during the running of the procedure are saved to the data file

Language changes from Trans IV

  • STOPKILL has been renamed STOPDISCARD
  • STOPKILL will continue to function as expected (no need to change existing code)
  • STOPABORT and STOPABORTFLUSH are obsolete and will be interpreted as
  • STOPSAVE, which ends the session and writes the data to disk
  • Saving data to memory and writing to disk have been condensed into a single operation (no need to change existing code)
  • The FLUSH command has been renamed WRITE
  • FLUSH will be interpreted as WRITE (no need to change existing code)
