There are a number of changes in this pre-release compared to the last official version of SCOPE /DP. The
following list describes the
changes and the new features in short. You can find a more detailed descriptions
on most of the aspects later on in this manual.
| Variables
|
In addition to the Pads a Module can now also include Variables. Variables in
opposition to Pads cannot be connected.
A Variable occupies less than half the memory of a Pad.
|
|
SurfaceInterface
|
Each surface of a device or module is now connected to the device with the SurfaceInterface. This mechanism allows you to place the
surface components freely in your project.
|
|
Views
|
The Project Window can now toggle between two views: surface view and circuit
view. When in surface view only Graphical Objects with
their ViewID set to 'Surface' will be shown and vice versa.
|
|
Views
|
Due to the new 'views concept' the Flip-In and Flip-Out functions have been taken out.

|
GO Attributes
|
I am rather sure, that there have been some changes to the GO Attributes.

Device Bar
|
The device bar gives access to all devices in a project. It therefore replaces the minimized view.

The item 'Design' was removed from the main menu. Its content can now be found under the item Window.
|
|
Menu
|
Two new items were added to the main menu: 'View' and 'Device'. The item 'Device' is explained separately
under the term Device Bar. View now holds most of the items formerly in Window. In addition the items 'Ulli Settings',
'Registry' and 'Control Ranger' have been added.

A new parameter concept has been added to the Scope platform.

The remote-API facilitates external access to the Scope platform.

shipped with the upcoming release.
