Update...

PeakHMI has always had a powerful scripting engine. Most projects do not require any scripting because the needed operations are included and configurable via selection dialogs. When we consider that a new feature or desired operation can be implemented with scripting or we have a customer that is using scripting to perform some task not native to PeakHMI, we look to see if the task is a candidate for inclusion in PeakHMI as a configurable option. That is what occurred with a task scheduler. PeakHMI has global timers that can fire scripts. The scripts can contain the code to trigger a task/action. A perfect example of a feature that should be part of the native actions of PeakHMI, a task scheduler.

Work on the task scheduler is progressing. It functions much like the OS scheduler with settings for daily, weekly, monthly, when a window opens, etc.. More than one action can occur per trigger/task. The action selection list is the same list, 50+ actions, used for the graphic mouse commands. The number of task is unlimited and as well as a task calling a script, task can be enabled and disabled from scripting.

The USB 15 I/O digital board is making progress. The second revision of the board arrived today and will begin hardware testing soon.

Another protocol we are looking at adding is the for Keyence PLC line. If you would like us to look at support for a protocol, please contact support@hmisys.com
