Bug fixes

NWare

816 - Projects with lots of meters could cause performance issues on NION

If you added a large number of meters to your project - 50, for example - this could result in excessive CPU utilization on the NION.

822 - Peer control problem

The fix added for issue 700 in release 1.6.2 caused a problem with certain peer wired controls. This has now been resolved.

Multiple products

827 - JL Cooper Eclipse MX device connection issue

Sometimes, the connection between the NION and the JL Cooper Eclipse MX device was lost unexpectedly. The NION needed to be rebooted in order to reestablish the connection.

828 - Serial connection issue to the JL Cooper Eclipse device

When the JL Cooper Eclipse device was used with a NION or nControl via a serial connection, sometimes there was an intermittent loss of communications. Also, communications were sometimes uni-directional instead of bi-directional.
