Major new features in GainSeeker version 8.7

Python Script Editor redesigned for ease of use

Working with Python is now much more intuitive with the newly redesigned Python Script Editor.

Where previous versions of GainSeeker required that the Python script be comprised of one or more "Actions" - each with its own setup interface - the new Python Script Editor provides a code-centric interface for writing Python scripts.

The new editor is backward-compatible, so you can still run and edit your Action-based Python scripts from previous versions of GainSeeker. And if you prefer to continue creating Action-based scripts instead of the new "code-only" scripts, you can configure this in a new System-wide setting.

Client installation redesigned

The GainSeeker client installation has been redesigned to simplify the installation process and better support silent installations and installation logs.

In the updated client installer, it is only necessary to specify database connection information the first time the GainSeeker client is installed on your network. Subsequent client installations will automatically detect this information from the shared data path on the network.

For more information, see Installing or Upgrading GainSeeker.

Also, a new utility has been created for importing GainSeeker licenses.

Display SPC real-time failure colors on data tables and multiple data tables

A new setting uses real-time failure colors and priorities to indicate real-time failure data on SPC data tables and multiple data tables.

Dashboard can now automatically launch action when next check is due

For the Date Time dashboard control, a new OverdueAction property lets you configure an action to be automatically triggered each time this DateTime control changes to the Overdue color.

Edited data and SPC standards now display "Audit Trail" tab

When you edit an SPC data record, DMS data record, or SPC standard, any previous changes to that record are displayed on a new Audit Trail tab. It is formatted like the full Audit Trail utility and displays the old and new value for each change.

New rights to "View Audit Trail Tab - Data" and "View Audit Trail Tab - Data" let you determine who can see this Audit Trail tab.

Camera or webcam now supported for PC Collect data entry

PC Collect data entry now supports the use of an integrated or external camera or webcam for:

More details are available on configuring the Traceability test for barcode scanning and on configuring the sub-inspection for taking pictures.

New module, GSConsole, can run Python scripts in Scheduled Tasks

In previous versions of GainSeeker, a Scheduled Task to launch the PC Collect module and run a standalone Python script sometimes failed.

For this reason, a new GainSeeker module - GSConsole - is now available for running a Python script in a Scheduled Task. It can use the same command line parameters as PC Collect, and it runs the script silently.

Checkbox test can now be optional

The Checkbox test now includes an EntryRequired property. When set to False, the inspector is not required to check the box for this test before submitting the sub-inspection.

A corresponding Python command inspect.cursubi.checkbox(idx).required has also been added.
