Fixed Bugs and Known Problems No bug fixes Related Documentation at Web Site No New features and changes introduced in this version are described here. Changes Since V1. 2 (R14) Changes described in this section reflect reprogramming implemented to comply with a court decision concerning patent litigation. * All source blocks (dials) have been removed from Dials & Gauges Blockset and it has been renamed Gauges Blockset 2. 0. Demos in other MathWorks products have been updated to reflect the changes in Gauges Blockset software. If you are updating from a release earlier than Release 14, then you should see "Version 1. 2 (R14) Dials & Gauges Blockset Software" on page 18. Compatibility Considerations This section describes the issues involved in moving to Gauges Blockset software Version 2. 0 from Version 1. 2 of Dials & Gauges Blockset. In the discussion below, a legacy model means a model that contains one or more blocks from Dials & Gauges Blockset and that you saved using Release 14 or earlier. 15 Gauges BlocksetTM Release Notes Resave Models to Suppress Warnings. When you initially open a legacy model, you see one or more warnings about unknown parameters, such as the message below: Warning: ActiveX Block block (mask) does not have a parameter named 'output'. If you resave the model using V2. 0 (R14SP1) of Gauges Blockset software, the unknown parameters will not be saved and the warnings will not appear the next time you open the model. Gauges Blockset software no longer enables you to configure blocks as sources, that is, the blockset no longer supports user input. The blockset omits the following libraries: · Buttons & Switches · Knobs & Selectors · Sliders · Demo Joystick Control Also, the Block Parameters dialog box for Gauges Blockset blocks omits the Output property and Event on which to output parameters. This dialog box no longer offers output as a possible value for the Connections parameter. Fixed Bugs and Known Problems Fixed bugs Related Documentation at Web Site No New features and changes introduced in this version are described here. Block Customizations Saved in Model File When you customize a preconfigured Dials & Gauges Blockset block using its ActiveX Control Properties dialog box, the customizations are saved in the model file rather than in external . ax files. Compatibility Considerations If you open a legacy model that was saved from a previous version, then the application reads the legacy . ax files and incorporates the information into the model file the next time you save the model. 18 Version 1. 1. 2 (R13) Dials & Gauges Blockset Software Version 1. 1. 2 (R13) Dials & Gauges Blockset Software Note Dials & Gauges Blockset 1. 1. 2 has been superseded by Gauges Blockset software Version 2. 0 and statements on these historical release notes may not apply to the current release. This table summarizes what's new in Version 1. 1. 2 (R13): New Features and Changes Yes Details below Version Compatibility Considerations Yes--Details labeled as Compatibility Considerations, below. Fixed Bugs and Known Problems No bug fixes Related Documentation at Web Site No New features and changes introduced in this version are · "Examples of Displaying Multiple Input Values" on page 19 · "Numerical Value of Buttons and Switches Changed" on page 19 · "Off-Block Control Parameter Removed" on page 20 Examples of Displaying Multiple Input Values The documentation uses two new example models to illustrate two different techniques for displaying multiple input values simultaneously on a multiple-component gauge. One model simulates a stopwatch that has multiple needles, while the other model varies multiple portions of a pie chart. See "Controlling Multiple Graphical Elements" for details. Numerical Value of Buttons and Switches Changed In V1. 1. 1 (R12. 1) of Dials & Gauges Blockset software, blocks in the Buttons & Switches library return a numerical value of -1 when in the "on" state. As of V1. 1. 2 (R13), the same blocks return a numerical value of 1 when in 19 Gauges BlocksetTM Release Notes the "on" state. The "off" state is unaffected by this change, and continues to return a numerical value of 0. Note More generally, this change in behavior applies to your own controls if they return a property whose data type is Boolean. Compatibility Considerations Here are two possible ways to upgrade your existing models that use button or switch blocks: · If the model contains a "Button convert to Simulink" block at the output port of the button or switch block, then remove the "Button convert to Simulink" block. · Otherwise, insert a Gain block at the output port of the button or switch, using a value of -1 for the Gain parameter. [. . . ] This new event-driven approach is more efficient than the former approach of repeatedly requesting the same information at successive time steps. The Event on which to output field allows you to specify what events will cause the value of the output to be updated. Note The field that was called Event in Dials & Gauges Blockset software Version 1. 0 has been renamed in Dials & Gauges Blockset software Version 1. 1. 1; it is now called Other events and handlers. Compatibility Considerations When you open a Version 1. 0 model with Version 1. 1. 1, default values may be automatically inserted in the Event on which to output field. This occurs for built-in Dials & Gauges Blockset blocks when this field is empty. 22 Version 1. 1. 1 (R12. 1) Dials & Gauges Blockset Software Aircraft and Joystick Demo Controls Added The Global Majic ActiveX Library, dng_gmslib, contains two new demo sublibraries: · Demo Aircraft Instruments · Demos Joystick Control These sublibraries contain controls that use time-limited evaluation licenses from Global Majic, Inc.
