iFIX 4.5

The human-machine-interface supervisory control and data- acquisition (HMI/SCADA) software iFIX 4.5 provides comprehensive monitoring, control and data management. This new version addresses a wide range of customer-identified needs, advanced reliability to improved ease of use, while adding more power and flexibility. In producing this update, designers focused on making infrastructure improvements and customer-requested usability updates. The iFIX 4.5 supports operation on the Microsoft Windows Vista operating system. The software automatically adopts the latest operating system look and feel throughout all of its applications and dialogs. Another major enhancement is dynamo versioning, which assigns names, version numbers and descriptions, to dynamos. Double-precision math in the iFIX Process Database translates to an ability to deliver 15 digits of data precision for all internal calculations and data use. Backwards compatibility will be achieved with existing systems while enabling newer iFIX nodes to leverage the new data precision.
