RE: FT Optix: toggle a bit with a button.

Found In Egroup: Advanced Software \ view thread
The names lead one to (falsely) believe the functions are for a different purpose than what they are actually intended. The 'bit' portion refers to an individual bit which is part of a word. For example, The twenty third bit of a 32-bit word (Int32) would be Bit 22. So, those functions take the entire ...

The service runs with permissions of the current user. So, not only do you need to enter the same password as the Windows user, but the user name needs to match as well. If the user name is not 'admin' in Windows, then you need to edit the target configuration in Optix Studio so that they match. -- ...

Hi Andy. I don't know for sure, but best I can tell...filters should be supported. Qt SVG It may simply be an issue with how it was exported or saved from Inkscape, but I'm not an expert on this. If you do not need to use the features of the Advanced SVG Image object in Optix (i.e. just display the ...

RE: FTOptix: Project not opening

You are correct. The standard version of Optix Studio is free, but doesn't include the built-in version control tools. For that, you need an entitlement for Optix Pro. @Casanova if you pay for Optix Pro, you can link Optix to a VC system (like GitHub) and work locally on your project but then push ...

RE: FT Optix AlarmSummary Widget: How to change default filter

Sure thing. I will say that you are correct; the documentation is very sparse. The description for the widgets in the library makes no mention of executing the design-time NetLogic methods for object generation. In fact, even the official help file makes no mention of it. Configure Alarm Widgets ...

I have contacted Rockwell on this about a feature request. Confirmed that it is entered into their backlog to add a Boolean property for focus status. Look for it in future releases, although I would not expect it to be in the release of 1.7 which will be out soon. Next calendar year is more likely. ...

Once the runtime utility is upgraded on the device it cannot be rolled back. You will need to reset it to factory defaults and then load the version you need. -------------------------------------------

And if there still isn't enough real estate, you could make the Message column the last column, auto size it to the text, and put the entire grid inside a Scroll view container. At least then you can read the whole message, it just requires horizontal scrolling. ------------------------------------- ...

Hi Simon, The alarm widgets are quite complex as most of the functionality is powered by NetLogic scripts in the background. The accordians categories and filter check boxes and input fields are generated at runtime via one of the scripts per some settings in a configuration object. Let's take a look ...

RE: #FTOptix | Timezone offset vs DaylightSavingInOffset

Posted By AutomateSHANE Oct 31, 2025 11:41:00 AM
Found In Egroup: Advanced Software \ view thread
From my understanding, and from what supporting info I could find online, Offset is the fixed difference from UTC and DaylightSavingInOffset is a Boolean flag. Since Denmark is always UTC +1 (Hour or 60 Minutes), offset would always be 60. CEST corresponds to UTC +2, so DaylightSavingInOffset would be ...
