Verify

Joe Hebert

Hi all,

The old Axcess compilers use to have a ?Verify? option that would allow you to compare compiled code on your PC with the code running in a master and verify if they were the identical. Does that option exist in Netlinx Studio?

Thanks,
Joe

Hi Joe
Studio 1.2 has it but I don't see it on Studio 2.

Joe Hebert

Thanks Thomas. I don't see it in Studio 2 either. I wonder if it will reappear in DUET? I thought it was a useful feature.

I don't know of the feature in Studio 2.x, but can you cheat? If you set up a watch window with one of the variables used in the code, it should tell you if the source code matches the compiled (master) code.

Hi Ghrae,

Thanks for the suggestion but that only kind of works. Take any project, compile it, and download it to a master. Immediately afterwards compile that same project again without making any changes. Now open up the debug window and you will get a message saying that the source code and the tkn on the master don't match even though you haven't done a thing with the source code. I assume it's looking at the time and date stamp.

I'll just remember to keep my trigger happy compile finger at bay if I want to "cheat"

Thanks again,
Joe

Actually, I've come across that exact problem many times before ... but it is as close to a "verify" as I can think of with the current Studio release.
