Leading user (me) to believe it crashed and did not finish. Thus re-launching the update then wants to remove the factory update. - Minor issue – copying design -003 service and factory EDS files to the OD files folder results in service EDS being removed upon launch of Pro-FX configure. - Factory EDS file remains. “Eaton AxisPro Valve v5B.eds” is removed while “Eaton AxisPro Valve v - Minor issue – when valve is already connected, sending NMT reset all results in re-detection of the valve. However at the end of the detection sequence duplicate read requests are seen on the bus in the traffic monitor. Object 0x2004 sub 45 is requested. - Minor issue – may be related to #6. On reset of Pro-FX when DS408 Control was previously open, it opens again. The valve cannot be commanded until DS408 Control is closed and opened again. This only happened once. - Minor issue – DS408 monitor does not respect that the valve was already sending TPDO1 data on the bus when it was opened. It opens in the “off” state and stops the TPDO1 traffic without warning. In a network this would disrupt system operation if the m - Minor issue - traffic monitor experiences a pause every once in a while. While investigating I show the CAN trace in PCAN-View. The traffic monitor has messages in different order than in PCAN-View. The issue is visible on both sides of a heartbeat me - Diagnostics: Colors in the tool bar of Diagnostics window are inconsistent in Windows XP - Cosmetic: CAN Customized window: Window can be resized to any dimension, which is not needed and does not look good. So it would good if the window is frozen to the desired dimensions (height and width). - In Windows XP 64 bit machine: Pro-FX Configure takes longer time to launch. After you launch the application from the launcher. Even resetting Pro-FX Configure takes more time when compared to Windows 7. - Minor: GUI issue in Launcher: When Pro-FX Configure application is launched the window which opens is not compatible with keyboard stroke “Tab”. That is user cannot select between “Axis Pro”, “Power Pro Canopen” and “Power Pro J1939” using keyboard. - Installer: Minor: NonAdmin user can continue installation with the “Pro-FX Configure setup.exe” even after the drivers fail to install. According to Anil this should be raised as an enhancement. - GUI: Cosmetic issue: Pro-FX Configure screen looks displaced towards right and some of text is clipped. Found on Vidya’s newly configured machine with screen resolution 1600*1200, windows 7 64 bit machine. Did not see in any other machines. - DS408 Configurator: Parameters are not populated properly.

Observed in Windows XP 32 bit. - DS408 Graphical configurator: Performance: DS408 configurator performance issue when the application is closed. - Diagnostics: There are some issues while these messages are populated. For design 003 once the lower criticality is set for example to warning; respective message populates in the message window. After that when we change the criticality to Shutdown this - Installer: When user install the Pro-FX Configure setup .exe twice then the drivers get installed again. The Installer does not recognize or detect that already the drivers are installed instead proceeds with installing the drivers again. - InfoMessagesWindow: Messages are displaced and are not aligned properly in the Warning messages window shown in the below picture. User Experience effected. - DS408Control: The valve goes into Fault mode after changing the device mode from DFPC to DSC. - Device Tree App Bar: Tree Loading is taking time around 4 to 5 seconds after the valve gets detected. This happens with level 3 size 5 valve. Observed quite a few times (5 to 6 times). Also happens in Windows XP 64 bit. - Launcher: Cosmetic: Observed that the message for selecting between “Axis-Pro” , “Power-Pro…” etc from the drop down menu says “Please select a version”.
