Notes for the user
- For operating the Engineer, the Windows user no longer needs to be a member of the 'Power Users' group. The 'Users' group is sufficient from V2.13 onwards. For safety parametrization of module SM301 still 'Power User' rights are required.
- The size of the project on the hard disk has been reduced by 85 % as against the earlier version.
- The data storage speed has accelerated by 25 % as against the earlier version.
- Invoking the Online Help has been simplified. The help page suitable for the current context is always displayed with <F1> now.
Compatibility with earlier versions
Engineer 2.13 is downward compatible in terms of functions. This means that later software versions support the functions of the previously released software versions (as of Version 1.2.).
