Updated: Support for a second GS card in 48 sized tubs for Automation (LW) only panels.
Fixed: Program transfers were unable to perform an optimized transfer following
a program transfer to a specific panel.
Fixed: LI panel programming issue with an ID equal to 999. This issue affected
both GS Input as well as Dataline Switch programming.
Fixed: Using the Learn feature in WinControl Graphics often caused crashes
in WinControl while GroupDevice updates were taking place.
Fixed: Relay behavior settings were not displayed correctly for legacy (CC) panels.
This affected both the relay grid and the relay properties page.
Fixed: Dataline power supplies were automatically selected for non-Complete
Control systems. Now only Complete Control systems with more than one panel
will have a dataline power supply automatically installed in the first
available and supported panel.
Updated: Peanut (LP) panels now support up to 8 GS inputs. Formally, these panels
were limited to 4 inputs.
Version 3.11 – 31 October 2007
Update: This version (or later) of WinControl MUST be used with LI-CC firmware
version 19 or higher. This update may effect occupancy sensor and ARP behavior.
Fixed: New panels, by default, support Automatic Relay Packs (ARPs). Once the
firmware version is discovered to be an older, unsupported version then the ARP
checkbox is disabled. If ARP support was enabled prior to discovering an older
firmware version then the ARP checkbox text becomes RED indicating an invalid
setting. Clearing it will reset ARP relays to SPACE.
Fixed: Spurious error message when using Firefox to view reports. The error
message has been removed. Firefox can take longer than expected to launch
depending on plugins installed.
Fixed: The older wiring schedule card report for legacy panels was no longer
working. This report has been fixed.
Version 3.10 – 21 September 2007
New: support for Automatic Relay Packs (ARPs) has been added to WinControl. Support
includes control, status and documentation plus a new report. See the updated
documentation for more information on ARP support, including programming restrictions.
New: relay panel documentation report for panel door sleeve. Best to print
in landscape mode.
Improved: better support for multi-system site files. A default system is selected
at startup but, when needed, a prompt is provided to select the current system.
Improved: Astro schedules are now disabled if location and time zone are not set.
New: panel and card ROM versions are now persisted and displayed on the panel
documentation property page.
Updated: The device selection dialog box that normally comes up when running
reports and other operations now automatically selects and performs
the operation on the device if it is the only one device is in the list.
Fixed: Panel coping with Dataline switches did not correctly copy panel
IDs if the parent panel matched the programmed panel ID for a button.
For CC, the panel ID is always the parent ID and they are now always
reset to the new panel ID.
Fixed: BACnet documentation support has been added for RTR32 type panels.
Updated: The system summary report has been updated to support more system
wide information.
Updated: report engine code has been updated to be more reliable for HTML
based reports.
Fixed: now correctly hiding analog input status while running in Designer.

Updated: Due to network security issues, temporary files are now
saved in the site folder of the LI file.
Added: "System Options" to the "Initialize" menu
Added: WinControl file association is now automatically enabled during installation.
Updated Documentation:

Fixed: Variable Override Duration (VOD) programming bug corrected.
Requires program transfer for VOD to be set correctly.
Updated: Panel copy now asks if Dataline Switch neuron IDs should also
be copied (usually only needed when renumbering panels).
Fixed: The "Sync Clock" button was not correctly enabled when direct
connected to a panel. This has been fixed.
Updated: Internal MSXML files are now using the latest DLLs from Microsoft.
This was causing a Windows Update message after installing WinControl.

the device ID to fail.

clear various modes such as schedule occupancy and shed. Can also clear
runtime data and activity logs.
Updated: Dataline Monitor now has some quick dataline request options
at the bottom of the page. Choose the panel and request type and hit
'Request'. The data will be decoded in the dataline monitor list.
Fixed: Analog Input programming had some bugs with 'Advanced' and
with using the correct default values.
Version 3.00 – 5 February 2007
Added: Support for Photocells and Analog Inputs for LI-CC panels including up to 32
setpoints per panel and several Photocell predefined
