Release notes

8.0.5

Viper.NET

  • New command CmdTgInMemory for the command interface: loads and unloads the toolgroups of jobs in memory on demand (LoadTgs / UnloadTgs / UnloadAllTgs / GetLoadedTgNames; asynchronous pre-loading via BeginLoadTgsAsync / EndLoadTgsAsync / EndAllLoadTgsAsync), e.g. to pre-load the toolgroups of the next type before a type change or to free memory explicitly. Complements the automatic Max. TgItems in Memory handling, which is unchanged

  • External application tabs (extAppTabs.xml): new parameter hasWindow for headless / windowless helper processes (e.g. a background logger). With hasWindow="False" the process is still started and stopped with the project, but no window is searched for or embedded, so the previous per-second window-search log spam is gone. Close and auto-restart follow forceCloseApp and checkWndAliveTimer. Default True keeps the existing behaviour, so existing projects are unaffected. See Headless mode (windowless helper processes).

VisionPro Tools

  • StringComposer: a wired output terminal now updates the connected downstream tool on every run. Previously the value was delivered only once (when the connection was drawn) and then stayed frozen, so the downstream tool kept reading the first cycle’s value while later runs silently changed it. Behaviour change for existing projects: the downstream tool now receives the current value on every run – and an empty value after a failed compose (e.g. a blank input feeding a path output, which fails on purpose) instead of the previous run’s value. No project needs to be re-saved; only the updated tool has to be redeployed.

Halcon Plugin

  • 3D file image source (.ply / .om3 object models): fixed an inverted file-existence check that rejected every existing model file with Could not read the file, so the source never delivered a model (empty live view, no model handed to the job). Present in all 8.0.x versions; the 3D sensor sources (AT, MicroEpsilon, Keyence) and the 2D file source were not affected

Viper.NET ImageSources

  • Basler: fixed a camera connect failure on models whose BlackLevelRaw feature uses an increment other than 1 (e.g. the colour acA5472-5gc, which reports an increment of 4). A fixed default black-level value that did not lie on the camera’s value grid was rejected by the camera and aborted the entire camera setup, leaving the camera in an endless connect / release loop; any access then reported CameraHandle is null (for example Read Settings from Camera). The default black level is now snapped to the camera’s valid value grid and applied non-fatally, so a rejected optional default can no longer prevent the camera from connecting. The issue existed in earlier releases and only affected cameras whose black-level increment is not 1

  • Basler (GigE): the Inter-Packet Delay setting now actually takes effect (it is written to the GevSCPD node). Previously the value was stored in the project but never applied, so every project effectively ran at the camera default. Behaviour change: on load, existing projects are migrated to 0 = “do not manage”, so Viper leaves the camera’s own inter-packet delay untouched and behaviour is unchanged after the update; set a positive value to have Viper apply it (e.g. to reduce packet loss on multi-camera GigE setups). Only the plugin has to be redeployed.

Build & Setup

  • Plugin folders no longer contain culture-resource DLLs (satellite assemblies) of host assemblies such as ZedGraph or Gefasoft.MAK.* (about 180 files in the ImageSource, Lumos/AsmptMark3se, Reinspect and StreamTelLogger plugin folders). They could never be loaded from there, the translations are installed with the host; an upgrade removes the stale copies

  • OPC UA plugin: the .pdb debug file is no longer part of the setup

8.0.4

Viper.NET

  • GInOut Python scripting: new code-folding strategy in the script editor and new per-script parameters that are stored permanently in the .xio file

  • Bugfixes:

    • Vision: the light is now switched off after a job also for non-camera image sources (file / Halcon file sources); previously it stayed on until the global automatic turn-off. Camera systems are unaffected.

    • Vision: fixed a light-locking conflict in referencing image-source chains (e.g. a Halcon-wrapper source referencing another source on the same light channels). Both levels locked the same channels, which caused a Lumos lock timeout (~2×2 s) and no image. Resolved channel-precisely; disjoint channels behave exactly as before.

    • Vision: fixed unbounded native memory growth (OutOfMemory after long uptime) on systems that show sub-displays: the per-cycle copy of each sub-display image was never released and relied on garbage collection. The copies are now disposed deterministically when the display image is replaced; asynchronous image saving from sub-displays takes its own snapshot, so saved images are unaffected

    • Station handshake: the station is no longer left busy when the output data of a not-executed toolblock cannot be written (ignoreTbNotExecuted); the busy flag is now reset correctly

    • Log configuration editor: editing log/appender settings in the GUI no longer discards all changes when the configuration contains an appender type the editor does not support; unsupported entries are kept and the remaining changes are saved

    • GInOut S7 ISO-TCP: existing projects that reference the previous type name (Gefasoft.MAK.GInOut.Hw.CDll.S7ISOTCP) load again

    • Help view (WebView2): hardened against a crash when the help tab is closed (E_ABORT teardown race)

    • UI Designer: fixed a crash when reloading a tab whose user control is not available

    • RunFromDir: no longer crashes on an invalid configured scan path

    • Fixed a crash (AccessViolation) when closing a live display while free-run is active

    • Fixed a crash when opening a live form that is not available

    • Fixed a shutdown crash in the digital handshake when the client connection is already gone

    • TgItem documentation view: fixed unreadable dark-on-dark text under Windows dark mode

Localization

  • Chinese (zh): translated the Job editor tabs and header (completes the operator/editor localization)

  • VisionPro tool language resources (satellite assemblies) are now delivered and installed, so custom VisionPro tools appear in the configured UI language (e.g. German) instead of always English

VisionPro Tools

  • New tool StringComposer: build strings from parts and split a string into parts (by fixed length or separator) without scripting, with an output preview

  • PinCheck3D: fixed MissingManifestResourceException when opening the Sort dialog

Halcon Plugin

  • 2D display: graphic overlays that are no longer part of the current result are now removed, so stale overlays from a previous run no longer remain in the image

  • 2D display: overlay format (colours/line settings) is saved and loaded again, and is restored for already-saved projects

  • Calibration: calibration images are paired by image index instead of position; Save now writes the current state; environment variables are resolved in path inputs, dialogs and checks

  • Live 2D display: fixed a crash/race between HImage dispose and the UI render

  • File image source: the directory-mode checkboxes (e.g. load sub images) are editable again

  • 3D display: guard against a crash when updating the trackball center without a valid 3D model

  • Input tools (inline acquisition): during a job run the job supplies the images, so an empty tool input no longer triggers an inline acquisition. Previously this took a second image from every enabled extension source and switched the light a second time; a warning now names the affected tool group item. The inline acquisition of the tool-dialog test run is unchanged.

  • Input tools (inline acquisition): the test-run acquisition now uses only the image-source category that feeds the asking tool (resolved from its input-data terminal) instead of every enabled extension source, so e.g. a 3D tool no longer acquires from a 2D source and switches its light. If the tool cannot be mapped, the previous behaviour is kept.

Viper.NET ImageSources

  • Allied Vision (Vimba): cameras can now be referenced by IP address in addition to serial number; a transient read during connect/reconnect can no longer wipe or migrate a source’s identification (serial <-> IP); Vimba shutdown and ROI-disable fixes

  • Basler: line-scan support for racer 2; colour feature extension including camera-native white balance (BalanceWhiteAuto=Once); several robustness fixes

Viper.NET Tools

  • SaveVersion: fixed loading a job whose entry has no type attribute; fixed an app crash on a job that has no tasks

Viper.NET Plugins

  • New plugin StreamTelLogger (Stream-telegram-logger): receives log messages from PLCs or other systems over Viper streams (UDP/TCP/COM) and writes them to dedicated log files via named log4net loggers, separate from the Viper log (e.g. D:/log/PLC.log, with the usual rolling mechanism). Opt-in per project; own stream pool, per-mapping encoding, optional telegram-id prefix (<id>|) and log-level prefix (D:/I:/W:/E:/F:), and an optional acknowledge response (ACK / WARNING:… / ERROR:…) back to the sender; connection status shown in the state menu. See StreamTelLogger Plugin.

Light Controllers

  • LUCON 2 and LUCON 4C-20A-V: updated SDK packages (interop crash-safety)

8.0.3

Viper.NET

  • New GInOut hardware type OPC UA (server and client), delivered as a separate plugin: the server publishes the GIO data blocks as OPC UA variables, the client mirrors variables from a remote OPC UA server. Usable in the GInOutHwExplorer and in Viper.NET.

  • Vision parameters: new Description column, editable in the parameters editor and shown read-only in the operator view

  • Vision parameters: new parameter type double[] (numeric array). Array parameters are created as double[] output terminals on an InputBlock and edited index-by-index in the UI Designer via a dedicated index/value control with a Set Array Length context-menu entry.

  • Bugfixes:

    • UI Designer: FunctionButton (Link and StartProcess) now applies Font, ForeColor and BackColor

    • VisionHandshakeImageTrigger: fixed starting output bits (IO/NIO/Warn were wrongly set during every run)

    • VisionStationImageTrigger: fixed slow start (~2.6 s delay before Run on every cycle); the image-source assigner discovery is now cached and primed at vision-type load

    • Global vision parameters: fixed crash (NullReferenceException) when adding the first global parameter to a newly created vision type

VisionPro Tools

  • ResultCsvTool: environment variables in the file path (e.g. %VIPER_PROJECT_DIR%) are now resolved when writing the CSV

  • Fixed version display in all custom VisionPro tool edit controls

Halcon Plugin

  • Fixed Keyence sensor (LJ-V 3D) load failure that could cascade into a VisionPro initialization error when the Keyence image source plugin was not installed

Light Controllers

  • LUCON 4C-20A-V: fixed Send button being cut off in the Send Commands tab

Build & Setup

  • Hotfixes now stay within their Major.Minor line: a patch release updates in-place and counts as the same version, so opening a project no longer triggers spurious version-mismatch (upgrade/downgrade) dialogs; the AutoStarter resolves and delivers hotfixes per Major.Minor line

  • Fixed GInOutHwExplorer not starting after an in-place update (missing System.Runtime.CompilerServices.Unsafe.dll)

8.0.2
