Changes in Composer Pro/HE function in 3.0?

In another thread someone mentioned that you can now edit individual lines of code rather than have to replace them.  What are some of the other changes/improvements in Composer 3.0?

I assume you are more interested in Home Edition Composer.

In programming, there are shortcut buttons for things like ELSE, AND, OR, BREAK, STOP, and DELAY (AND and OR are new...).  Also the ability to add Comments!

In the Navigator configuration screen, you can now use Apply To... to copy device order/visibility for your watch/listen/comfort/lighting/etc menus across any other rooms in the project (this is huge for big systems with several rooms, especially on new setup or adding a new device for example)

"A Programming Summary has been added. Programming Summary is accessible in the context (right-click) menu of any item in System Design. Programming Summary shows all programming including When >> Then sequences created by your customers.  Within the Programming Summary screen, programming can be replaced by dragging and dropping a new command item while holding the shift key."

The Timer Agent now supports the ability to pause and resume programming manually or with programming. Timer resets, restarts, or expiration has been made more flexible.

START

  • (if stopped): Starts the timer and executes the started event.
  • (if running): Starts the timer over and executes the reset event. The timer then runs for the full duration.
  • (if paused): Starts the timer over and executes the started event.

STOP

  • (if stopped): Has no effect.
  • (if running): Stops the timer and executes the stop event. The timer cannot be resumed.
  • (if paused): Stops the timer and executes the stop event. The timer cannot be resumed.

RESTART

  • (if stopped): Starts the timer and executes the reset and started events.
  • (if running): Stops the timer, then starts the timer over. This executes the stop, reset, and started events.
  • (if paused): Stops the timer, then starts the timer over. This executes the stop, reset, and started events.

RESET

  • (if stopped): Starts the timer and executes the reset and started events.
  • (if running): Starts the timer over and executes the reset event. The timer then runs for the full duration.
  • (if paused): Resets the remaining time to the original timer interval and executes the reset event. The timer remains paused.

PAUSE

  • (if stopped): Has no effect.
  • (if running): Stops the timer, preserves the remaining timer duration, and executes the paused event.
  • (if paused): Has no effect.

RESUME

  • (if stopped): Has no effect.
  • (if running): Has no effect.
  • (if paused): Continues the timer from when it was paused and executes the resumed event.

Thanks.  The Apply to sounds nice.

 

is the Programming summary similar to what is provided in Detective Suite?

 

can you sort macro names in the programming tab?
