v1.13.0 --> v1.14.0 Change Summary

[ciozi137]

This issue is meant to track changes going from v1.13 to v1.14 (and now I will start to undo some breaking changes to restore some backwards compatibility with v1.13 instruments).

Changes have been documented in commit messages, issues, and a wiki page, but these are not easy to wade through.

Instrument.lvlib

enum to string.vim and string to enum.vim are now members of the new library instrument-VIM.lvlib instead of instrument.lvclass
(I ran into issues that I suspect were due to having malleable VIs as members of a class. They seem to behave better when a member of a library.

v1.14 backwards compatible? ❌ not possible: class/library membership has changed

Instrument.MessageTo(From)Process

• Deprecated: Instrument.MessageToProcess.vi → Instrument.sendMessageToProcess.vi
• Deprecated: Instrument.MessageFromProcess.vi → Instrument.sendMessageFromProcess.vi

v1.14 backwards compatible? ✅

Instrument.LogPGSQL.vi

v1.14 backwards compatible? ✅

LV to LV Data.vim

• Deleted: LV to LV Data.vim. Use JSON-RPC.lvlib:JSON to LVtype.vim instead

v1.14 backwards compatible? ❌ not possible: class/library membership change

Remote Client.vim

• Deprecated: Remote Client.vim ➡ Client.vi, which will call Remote Client.vi or Local Client.vi

v1.14 backwards compatible? ❓ I do not know. Remote Client.vim exists and calls Client.vi BUT it is broken. I don't know if it will build, or what will happen when devs try to use it

[ciozi137]

Deleted: Get Client Type.vi

[ciozi137]

Deleted: Write Client Type.vi

Handle Command

New override methods (available) to support

• Handle setIDN.vi

• Handle GET.vi, Handle SET.vi

• Handle setAllData.vi

v1.14 compatible? ✔ should be: these are not required, but intended to make code management easier

New & Changed "SMO" Methods

• Updated: Get SMO RC Type.vi: returns RemoteControl class instead of Remote Control type enum
• New: Get SMO HELP.vi: returns HELP documentation for each API command. Use Instrument.lvclass:Get SMO HELP.vi as a guide to programming this VI. Override must call parent. Child needs to override
• New: Get SMO Serial Number.vi, return your application or hardware serial number. Child should override
  - New: Get SMO Public API (This Level).vi, return only the new commands your application is support. Convenience, not necessary to override
  - New: Get SMO LogTime.vi: default logging interval (10,000 ms). Override if you want to change the default. Can also configure log interval at run time by running Instrument.updateLogTime.vi
• New: Get SMO Vendor.vi, manufacturer, used for IDN cluster
• New: Get SMO HAL Type.vi: reserved for future
• New: Get SMO API Type.vi: reserved for future

Where are they used?

'Get SMO Serial Number' and 'Get SMO Vendor':
