Being able to have nicknames longer than 16 characters would be a plus.
I find myself abbreviating a lot and then wondering what I meant.....

Been on the list forever, but we do expect this one to get some effort in the next year or so.

If its not too much trouble, When creating a memory block, I'd like to be able to have numbers in the block name(Bin1Data).

It's technically possible to have a number anywhere but the first or last character, but due to the complexities of parsing, we've chosen not to go there. We are going to be making significant improvements to our entire memory structure over the next several releases, so we might be able to add more flexibility.

Any plans to make this work(Allow a pointer in the Set If Equal destination.)? or is it not doable for other reasons?

hmmm... Not sure why that is not allowed.  Will look into that.

PLC instruction is correctly handling. Simple DmD change.

Don't understand that Bob, could you word it differently?

The PLC firmware supports array elements for those 3 "if" parameters.  However, the Do-more Designer (DmD) software placed the restriction of DISallowing arrays.  Hence, it is a simple tweak to DmD to let STRCMP support bit arrays for those 3 "if" paramters.

Thanks franji.

[franji1]

Fixed.  It will be in the next release of DmD (Do-more Designer  )

I was confirming to Franj that the PLC is correctly implementing full parameter support that would allow the array references you tried to use. In some cases we don't.

Simulator Improvements for Analogs

16, 14 or 12-bit option for Input and Output. To more closely represent real world devices (modules)

The only thing it would really affect would be the input slider and output bar. Absent configuration, you could throw SCALE boxes on them.
